This weekend was very eventful! Some friends of ours (John and Alicia) recently got some horses and they invited us over to ride Dandy and Midnight. Brandon arranged this for me because "ride a horse" is on my life list. So I am so excited to finally cross one more thing off my list.
This is me on Dandy. As you might tell, I was a little nevous. Horses are BIG creatures up close so it was a little intimidating but overall I did ok. John (thats his arm in the picture) held on the reign the whole time because I wasn't confident enough to do it alone. I felt a little silly cause I felt like I was on a pony ride, but eventually I will be able to do it alone. :) thats the goal.
Brandon was more of a natural at it than myself. He did a great job and was able to ride around by himself. Dandy was real calm and easy to ride. Apparently Midnight is a bit harder to control. This whole experiance makes me want a horse but then i remebered, I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT OWNING A HORSE. Duh! They have so much land behind their house and the horses are just in their back yard! I can do the "country lifestyle" in spurts. I love that you can live out in the middle of nowhere where you can have horses in your backyard and not hear traffic, but I also love convenience of having a Wal-Mart or McDonald's down the street. Eventually when we buy a home we will have to find a nice medium.
I don't think I have ever been this close to a horse. I like this picture... All in all a wonderful weekend!

that looks like sooooo much fun. I've always wanted to do that. I went horse back riding a long time ago in Mexico. It was so much fun. I would love to do it again.
How cool! I rode a horse once back when I was like 7 years old, so I would like to do it again. I would be nervous too. What a fun weekend!
