After a long 2 year break from riding, last night I rode again. I sadly had to sell my horse Elliot about 2 years ago and missed riding and bonding with a horse SO much! I have been riding and owning for around 15 years. It was just a lot easier when I lived at home and my parents paid for it. lol. After being financial on my own I am finally able to afford riding again. I cant own a horse again at this time so I have been looking into leasing a horse. I found two horses at the barn I used to ride at for lease.
Last night I went down and rode one of the horses. His name is Bootz. He is so gigantic and wide, but was a lot of fun to ride. He is only 4 so he is still on the greener side, but he is very mellow and willing so his greenness isnt too big of an issue. He is actually like a slug and my legs are so sore today from getting him going.
Tomorrow I am trying out the other horse who is a Hanoverian mare. She is 8-9ish and has a lot more training to her. Im told little girls ride her all the time and she just packs them around. She is a really cute bright bay with 4 socks and a stripe. I have just visited her in her stall and she is very sweet, gentle and talkative. She was nickering up a storm. Im really excited to ride her tomorrow.
Im sure this is going to be a really hard decision to make.
Sorry I just wanted to share my excitement and I know there are some horse lovers out there in tPF land.
Here are some crappy phone pictures of me and Bootz from yesterday.
^DH checking Bootz out. lol.
