June – the end

Once my favorite month – June – maybe because of my birthday. You know, recently I was counting to make sure I really am as old as I am – and yes, that’s correct. I don’t want it to be any different. A bit of a pity. A pity, but probably only because of my energy levels. Yesterday at training, my whole body hurt as if it was screaming: “Re laaaxxxxx…!” For a moment, I thought about getting off the saddle, but in the end, we did yielding in walk – considering the movements with Plushie, we invented a gait before the walk :)) – it was exceptionally hard. Trotting was better. Training done, always “a little” progress.

By the way – I’ve been wondering since yesterday what it really means to do something “in tribute” – what does it really mean, beyond the obvious definition you’d find on Wikipedia:
“Homage (Latin: homagium) – a ceremony of solemn feudal contract. During it, homage was paid: the vassal would kneel before their lord and solemnly swear loyalty, promising to assist the lord in counsel (consilium) and to offer military aid (auxilium). Then came investiture, the formal granting of the fief to the vassal.”

In common understanding, paying tribute means nothing less or more than an expression of respect, recognition, devotion, and honor. Well.
