Default Not Riding Anymore

I had a freak accident while riding my horse in March 2010. I am doing great and probably could ride and be fairly safe. However, I know that if I get tired at all my symptoms worsen quickly. My balance can get weak without my noticing it until I stumble. Balance is extremely important for riding. Even for feeding and grooming balance is important. I am thinking of climbing up to the top of the hay stacks for one. The chances of a second concussion are too high, and the potential consequences too severe. I weigh the enjoyment of horses vs seeing my future grandchildren. No contest.
