Description

A few weeks ago I got together with some friends for a trail ride. We had loads of fun! I hadn't been on a horse for about 30 years, but I did okay. We rode for two hours, and then I took a hot shower, popped a couple of asprin, napped for an hour, and I was fine. (Okay, MOSTLY fine. My legs were a little sore for a day or two. Not bad for an old broad!) Here you have part of a saddle. What ... you expected me to show you the whole thing??

I don't think we could stand seeing the entire saddle - just give us little pieces like this showing that wonderful patina so we can absorb it a bit at a time!

I find changing gear on a horse problematic. I used to take a few girls from a drug rehab riding as their 'reward'. I got 'too good' for the trot string, and our instructor move my fellow leader and myself into the 'canter string'; the only problem was I couldn't get Blue, my mount, to do anything the horse in front wasn't doing. Blue was half Welsh cob, half Suffolk Punch, and extremely broad backed. "SQUEEZE Blue between your thighs, Andrea," she called. Mmmm. So she came alongside, and said to the horse 'Canter on', with which we took off, with me like a chiffon scarf in the wind, and my fellow leader brushed off on a bush and on his back in the heather. Look what memories your astonishing and beautiful photo called up! We do have a Western Style riding school nearby, maybe I'll try that!

The last time I went riding it wasn't my legs that were sore! I've been wishing I could go riding again but I doubt that this old broad could even get her leg slung across the saddle. Guess I'll stick to merry go rounds with the kids. A great photo and I've loved reading the comments of others.
