Tonight, for the first time in 14 years, I get to ride a horse... I hope the horse doesn't object.... I'm not sure I still have the right musculature to stick on it's back if it objects.
This should be cool, because it's something FUN to do that results in me getting EXERCISE. YAY! Theoretically, it will also result in the horse getting exercise too and being better behaved and happier in the whole scheme of things... And a well behaved horsie gets to go to more events, and more horses at more events means more equestrian for all of us... And I think equestrian stuff is COOL. Plus having a working relationship with a horse again will also be kinda neat.
I have NO equipment. If it looks like this is something I will continue doing for a while, I may need to ask around to find out where I can get things like tack and appropriate clothing.... (HELMET!) I'm sure there are places on the intarwebs, but riding boots, like point shoes, are really something a person aught try on before purchasing... The sizing is a little odd if I remember correctly....
But... YAY! Horsies!
