Horse Sense....

 

 

So, the banana skins started putting weight on me.

I know!  Not happy.

I put on about 2 kgs, possibly 3, I refuse to get on the scales.  On a positive note though, by rights this should go in the next few days possibly a week.  

I've seen this happen before though - there seems to be a link between feel good hormones and weight gain.  Which completely throws out the theory that food in vs exercise out is wrong.  Or not completely right.  Which I've been banging on about for years.  Anyway, that's neither here nor there, this isn't about whether I'm right or not, it about getting information out there.

However, the weight gain is quite easily fixed.  Loads of Vitamin C and eat foods which restore the acidic balance - gherkins, passionfruit, or anything which is sour.

Super annoying though.

Ok, was at Cambridge races tonight - super cool fun even though it was raining the whole night.  There's something magical about the horses and I swear, hand on heart, Spirit live where horses are.  Sometimes I just cannot believe that my two most favorite things in the world (apart from the young one) live and love in harmony together, and invite me into this sacred space.  It defies all reason some days.

Also, caught up with a girlfriend who is also doing the banana skin thing and guess what?  She's dropped almost a dress size in 9 days.  Her bowels are working nicely, she is having no gall bladder issues (she has had major ones in the past) and cannot believe that she feels full most of the time.  She LOVES it.  I talked about my reaction but then we got talking about how there had been a close death for me (and the funeral is not until Saturday) so there could be a bit of grief sitting there, and one new grief will also bring up old grief and it could also be a particular time of the month for me because I am literally holding onto all bodily fluids and stuff (don't be dense, you know what I mean).  So, I may not actually have put on weight.  I feel like I have but... unfortunately this is a wait and see scenario.

So there was another young driver, well, I watched him back his horse into a stall.  Admitedly not well, however, horse did eventually go in.  So, he gave it a hard smack on the nose to reward him.  Then another two for good measure.

Seriously?  I mean, really?

****

I'm changing Mares food round again.  She's pretty great but I can do better.

Famous last words.

****

Well, well, well eh?

As my old Nana used to say to me, It'll all come out in the wash, Tania and it used to drive me nuts then and it still causes me to be a little loco now.  But she was right.  If you give any situation enough time, the truth of the matter comes out.  And that's what happened tonight at the Harness Awards Night in a couple of instances, well 3 but I'm trying not to be nit picky.

1) I've been like a dog with a bone about something over the last few months, and I would have sworn on a stack of bibles I was right.  But I had no physical proof.  But I knew because the Energy spoke to me.  All.  The.  Time.  And then Boom! I got physcial proof tonight, like a light switching on, and all of a sudden I could breathe again.  Of course, it's now brought up a fresh lot of issues that will need addressing, but I got my original sin.  

2) And the other things I can't talk about but, if I've said this once, I've said it ten thousand times...

Energy.  Doesn't.  Lie.

Tonight proved that again.

Oh, and before I sign off and go to bed, I found a way to wear mascara again.  I was missing it again so tonight before I went out, I went, what if I coated my lashes before I put mascara on?  And Hello! used my Dr Hauschka's Eye Balm to coat my lashes and then used mascara.  

Boom, baby.

A huge congratulations to all the winners tonight xx

So, that's been our week:  Lots of Spirit but in the way that I know and love.  

Halle-freaking-lujah, baby.

Wishing you much love my friends and of course, my humans

Caps, me, Spirit, Az, Ralph, Chew, Suzie Q, Buzz-the-Bl**dy-Bull, Fenny and Flash

* So one of the stable horses, connected to one of my outside horses started chatting away to me last week.  Cutie was chatting before that, but it was late last week that things took a turn and it went like this, Hey T, come over here, this hurts (then showed me where, by turning round in stall and backing up towards me) can you touch it?

I leaned over the stables door, snuck his jacket up a bit and put my hands on. 

It was hot and sore.  So, I gave it a little more touch and then left hoping for good stuff.  

Happier horse next day.  

Went in today and immediately the conversation started, Hey T, come touch me...

And I couldn't because one touch is, well, one touch.  However, if I do it again, then I'm working and people, as you and I both know, can go absolutely apesh*te.  

So, I wrote a note.  

But I swear, hand on heart, the funniest thing came next.  I wrote the note, then went to cutie, explained why I couldn't play today and read the note out loud.  The horse just stood there perfectly still, listening, and then nodded, Yes, that's true.  

Well, I agree, it was a good note.  Hopefully, fingers crossed, I can do a decent session in the next few days because it's easily fixed.

** I am wearing mascara every single day and I'm LOVING it.

*** And we have the result of the Banana Skin Experience.  I am a fan but it won't be a regular part of my lifestyle and the reason for this is:

1) I love riding Energy and that means the twists and turns, ups and downs, flying high into the skies and diving into the depths of the ocean, and I wouldn't change this for the world.  Maybe other people like more stability with Energy, but that's not me.  I love the constant inconsistency of peaking and flowing.

2) Because of how I work with Energy I never get sick.  However, as soon as you limit your food, you're not listening to the world around you and moving with it, you're on a different frequency and last but not least,

3) I love walking in peace with Energy.  And even though Energy is crazily inconsistent, it's stable in it's crazy.  

I love that.

**** Do.  Not.  Leave.  Notes.

It wasn't the note that caused the problem, although to be fair it certainly didn't help.  It was me walking into the horses stall, locking the door behind me, taking off the horses jacket and touching the horse all over.  

But... 

***** Spent a lovely hour or so out at Alabar today, baby shopping.  There's something magical about stallions and my knowledge was deepened by the generosity of Wayne, spending time sharing his knowledge.  

Mares was sort of interested when I got back and started showing her photo's.  

Well, interested enough that she stopped eating her food to check him out.
