That's a picture of my daughter since I can't take a picture of myself, but it's true - I am taking horseback riding lessons. I have taken two lessons so far - one on my own and one with my daughter. I think we will continue to take the lessons together - it's a bit cheaper and my daughter loves the idea of us doing this together.
I have never felt in control when I've been on a horse. When I would go on trail rides with my dad, I would get the horse that decided he wanted to go waist high into the lake to get a drink of water. Now is that the fault of the horse or the rider? Or maybe a combination of both. So, I decided to take some lessons and see what happens. It's a lot more work than I remember.
One other benefit - it seems to be great exercise for my legs since I can really feel it the next day. Either that or I am really out of shape which is a possibility too. So go ahead - learn something new. It may turn out to be just what you were looking for!

oh yeah! good for the thighs and abs as well! Good for you going back to something you love and learn. I grew up with horses and can understand the love!
How wonderful you and your daughter can do this together!
When I did trail riding, apparently I was always telling my horse, "Go MUCH faster." Not consciously, but it's strange what cues they pick up. I must admit the results were exhilarating.
Hey there, i got a fabulous package the other day! Thank you so much, the soap is so cool (and funny)and i love the roving! Lol, you must have peeked at my myspace or blog to see i love pin up style girls , so the notebook also rocks! thank you again!
I've always wanted to take a long ride across a beach on a horse. I suppose I would have to know how to ride.....
Good for you! A Lifetime of Learning.
Good for you for learning something new! And it especially nice that you are sharing this with your daughter. Have fun!
