Riding Lesson Lessons

I had a lesson the other day that I really should have just put off for another day. I missed my usual time when I dear, dear friend called and said she needed the support when she had to give her wonderful dog of 15 years, Annee, the last gift we can give them. I was honored and gladly went, but I was still in no frame of mind to ride the next day. Call me a sap, I take it hard. The point is, it wasn't fair to Howie, the other person in my lesson or my instructor that my head wasn't in the game. Horses aren't something that you should do while you are distracted, they require, no they deserve your full attention.
