We have new neighbors who are just awesome! They saw me out in the yard and invited us to go horseback riding with them!
My hubby and I took English saddle lessons a few years ago, but have only ridden once since then, and that was on a beach in Jamaica.
We are lucky to have many stables in the area, and all arrangements have been made. It's so beautiful out, why be cooped up in the house?
So off we go, and pray that none of us falls off the horses!

My husband would love to have a stable of horses. He often tells me that when we get our own place he wants enough land to be able to have horses. He loves to ride. His grandfather had horses and he often rode them when he was a child and teenager. He has lived on farms most of his life and is a true country boy.
I have told him that if we can afford to keep horses we will do it. Personally, I will not be joining him for a ride. Since I was a child of 10, I have feared horses. From afar they are fine, but up close, I sweat and shake.

@DianneN my best friend tried to get me on a pony. She actually had me on him riding okay. I was freaked out. Got even worse when he tried to mount her pony while I was on his back. Yeah, I jumped off and left the horse. She yelled and laughed and yelled and laughed some more. LOL.

I hope you take some pictures of your adventure. I went horse, back riding only once and my career came to an end. I survived but I was scared stiff.

@DianneN When I was young, we owned a donkey and rode that but now I am too afraid of falling. Did you take any pictures of you on a horse?

@1hopefulman No pics of me on the horse, but took a photo of our teacher and the horse we had our lessons on. She was also out riding. It was her horse's birthday. They gave him some stout to drink. Look at his face. Lol! I understand your fear, because I'm afraid of certain things, too, such as spiders and snakes!!!!

I never learned to ride horses. The only time, I sat in the back of one was when a friend invited me to his ranch. We rode for four or more miles, after which I ended unable to stand up traight on my two feet.
Enjoy your day!

Hope you had a wonderful day! As you know, I go horseback riding early every Sunday morning, before I go to church or even have breakfast. It is a wonderful way to start the day!

I hope you had a great time riding horses. I have always wanted to do that but I am terrified of horses, their size scares me. But their beautiful!

I know you will have a great time. The last time I was on a horse was in the Dominican Republic about 20 years ago. I loved riding when I was younger and had my own horse but not so much now...

If the horses are well trained, and no one does anything foolish, then all should be fine. Have fun, and don't worry.
