There are two things you could do. Get a 'single foot' gaited animal or teach your horses to drive. Either way you can get out with your horses. I'm down to one horse now as I had to put down my gaited boy last fall, my mare is not gaited but has a wonderful walk. I may try to ride at the walk once I get my trails mowed and ready...I have a lot of walking to do to strengthen my back and legs. I have never had surgery for my injuries so can't speak to that.

My horses have a life long home as I bought them as 4 month old foals 22 years ago. I wish you luck and a speedy recovery.

Try riding, just trail riding. But if you can't, I'd definitely give driving a go. toby jo Aug 2014 #4
