Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Unfortunately, my reset button is not as easy to find as is Speedy's. All I have to do with him is go for a walk and maybe do some hand grazing. Button reset. Over the weekend, my migraines made a hugely painful comeback. Without sharing too much, I've been seeing a neurologist regularly, I've been through a battery of tests, and I am on a variety of medications. The neurologist has signed me up for a recently approved injection for migraine prevention, but it's not here yet.
Before you ask, yes, I've asked him about that, also that, and surprisingly even that. There isn't a cure for migraines; believe me, I've asked, and what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. So as I battle through this round, please excuse my radio silence. Hopefully I'll be back in a few days.

Thank you, Tracy. I am hopeful that the doctor can get me medicated enough to at least slow down the frequency. I am not opposed to drugs in this case. Bring 'em on. LOL Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse. After helping me earn a USDF Bronze medal in the summer of 2020, he is now semi-retired. Speedy is a 2004, 15'1 hand, purebred Arabian gelding. His Arabian Horse Registry name is G Ima Starr FA.
