ride horses again

I lied!...to myself. I never called. I meant to call. But I didn’t.

THIS WEEK. I will store the number in my cell and call during my lunch break to set up a riding lesson.

I haven’t gotten up the guts to call the stable where I want to take lessons. I haven’t ridden in maybe 6 years and I’ve always been self conscious riding because I’m not thin. But both are stupid reasons not to just call up and schedule a lesson. I always had so much fun riding and being around horses. There’s something so unique and beautiful about them. Different from any other animal. Something so incredibly majestic and sweet and strong. This is making me want to go even more. I’ll call tomorrow.

I really want to ride a few times this summer. I haven’t been on a horse since junior high, which is intimidating, but I’ve set my mind on it. I’ve narrowed the search down to two stables. I’m going to call this week about scheduling a lesson. I hope it goes well.

I’m going to start riding at the stables I used to take lessons at. It’s was well run, with good horses and a nice system. I’m really excited. I’ve missed horses alot since I stopped riding, and I can’t wait to get back into it. I wish I hadn’t stopped in the first place.

Along with the whole “forcing me into counciling” thing, the lady Mom wants me to go to has three horses of her own. She lives on her own farm. I’m so utterly jealous. I want to start horse back riding again now more than ever. I never stopped loving horses, and I think it’s about time I went back to riding. I’m going to talk to my dad about paying for lessons. I have a feeling there are plenty of sore muscles in my future. ;)
