Hawaii----paradise! The beauty is that, absent a rainy day, we can ride any time. Having passed the course on winter feeding, unsticking frozen waterers, and drying off horses in the cold, I have finally found my reward. So have the horses. They lounge around in pastures where the Kikuyu grass can grow 3 inches in a day, the water is clean and pure, there are no predators, and every day is just like the other 364. Having a place like Hawaii to ride in makes your inner juices flow. Mine center around where my career was centered - getting riders back in the saddle. I feel fortunate that Equus magazine has decided to run some of my articles on such subjects as riders' hand, eye, knee, and ankle problems, among others, to provide some useful information and solutions to these problems. Guess you can't stop being a physician even when you've retired. Perhaps you have rider health questions yourself. If so, feel free to ask here or in my email at JJjf1@aol.com. Keep riding.
