was what was required.
think, it was last Sunday since I last rode - and a lot has happened, what with teh weather (which was mostly dire!) and the RTA and so on.
Anyway, put hole in girth straps, it needed to be pulled up one more on one side. sorted. saddle stayed put.
so i might try the new pad again tomorrow (depending on the weather and how i feel!)
was in two minds whether to ride or not, the neck was still stiff, i couldn't find the supportive stock (one of those things with a solid part at the back and you velcro on the tabs at the front, very supportive!) my back hurt and I had a headache.
Whilst the riding wasn't brilliant and molly gave up (probably because she knew I wasn't in it really!) my headache went (probably needed the fresh air!).
and it's amazing what getting on a horse does for a bad back ...shame that all the other horse related activities aren't so good for it!
managed to see most of the olympic dressage tonight - some triangulated piaffe, one horse with a dreadful walk, Isabelle Werth's horse threw its toys out at the first piaffe, amazed it stayed in the arena and well done her for getting him back and still getting over 75%. had it not been for that, she would have got a good bit more...

Satchmo was a bit naughty at the piaffe in the team test too. Hope he's OK. Anky had some bad moments too. On the other hand Steffen and Courtney for the US did great jobs. Steffen's horse is young but what a good brain he has!
Glad the girth hole worked. A simple solution and a lot cheaper than some of the alternatives.
Still worrying about your sore body, neck, and head. Hope you too are OK.
triangulated piaffe
