Well, it seems I'll be out of the saddle for a little while. I have hurt my left hand and both my middle and ring finger are sprained with some torn ligaments. A very uncool thing... Both fingers being most important to fine-tune contact and with the ring finger bearing all the weight (which is especially true with a very strong horse like Meeka), I just cannot ride until it's completely healed. Doctor told me this could easily take eight weeks, maybe more, because as ligaments are not irrigated very well they take a long time to heal...
Hopefully I can go back to riding when spring comes. In the meantime, I have to be patient in managing many aspects of my life, I even have to type with only my left index + right hand because my fingers are sticking out & kept straight by a very sexy-looking metal splint.
Oh, well... :) Time heals all wounds!
