Because a few people said they'd like to see more orange horses, I'm adding these pics. If this isn't ok with the mods, let me know and I'll take it down. Only one person picked up on the outfit in the first post; these are of a similar vintage - none are within the past 30 years. :)
Earlier than that! :) No, once I had the kids, leaving them along to go catch a horse and go riding wasn't much of an option. The last time I rode myself I was working with a neighbor whose parents had bought her a pony that was a bit above her riding level. I had to get on him before every lesson and remind him that he did in fact know how to walk and stop, regardless of what he thought his other rider might be telling him. :) I think about it every once in a while, but I'd have to go somewhere and pay money for it...
Your love of horses comes through. Do you still ride?
