How I did it: I went on the internet and found a horseback riding place nearby to where I live and booked the trip the night before I went out. I then woke up and drove out there. I had been waiting to do this with a friend for awhile but when everyone finally just kept putting it off or deciding they were too scared to ride a horse, I just booked the ride for myself and went to complete my goal.

Lessons & tips: Use your legs to keep you on the back of the saddle by using your weight on your feet. With that in mind, bring appropriate shoes! My feet hurt after my ride because I clearly didn't have the correct shoes to ride in.
