This last weekend was a great one. My horseback riding teacher has been unable to ride for the past year due to an incredibly serious injury. She had bought a young horse after selling me Lance, and for some reason that horse just went ballistic when she was riding him one day about a year ago. The young horse threw her off and somehow he fell on top of her. She ended up being told she would never walk again and very definitely she would never ever ride a horse for the rest of her life. She had broken her pelvis, cracked right through some ribs, and broke her spine as well. Within a month of the accident she was walking again, and even took a trip back to England (against the doctor's orders.) Every day she worked to get strength back to her muscles, and this past weekend she rode her retired dressage horse Raj for the first time since the accident. I will never ever forget the huge smile on her face!

I LOVE the pastel with the lighthouse! It's my favourite of all your pastel so far... I think?
Glad Joan is better and that she can ride Raj again!
See? Sometimes people tell us we won't be able to do something, we will never make it, but when we push ourselves and we know we can do it, we can prove them wrong and be really proud of ourselves!
So happy to hear that Joan is doing so well!
Thanks :) I'm happy for her too!
