I forgot how long 2 hours in the saddle is as far as my butt is concerned. It was fun, but trail riding is not the same as just riding for fun.
How I did it: I went camping with my family in the Blue Ridge mountains and our campsite offered horseback riding. My mom, her boyfriend, my fiance and I decided to try it. Only my mom's boyfriend had ever been and only one time. Our instructor gave us some horses to hop on and we took off! I thought it was going to be slow and guided, but we just took off into the mountains! It was amazing. At first I was afraid of falling because we were going up and… Read how I did it…
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.

How I did it: I found it very theraputic, I had someone help me and was there to guide me. The horse can sense if you are scared and if you think it's stupid--trust me they will know. Sit up straight, point your toes up in case in jumps into a canter or a trot, and look in the direction you're headed. Read how I did it…
How I did it: So I've been wanting to go horse back riding for FOREVER. But trail rides are so expensive and far away from my house and lessons are even more expensive. My mom won a free lesson at our dance studio's cast party. One half hour lesson (normally $35, shit).So I went and they had no idea that I was coming even though I'd been told to come at that time on that day. So I was a bit peeved. While the riding was fun (and it made me want my own h… Read how I did it…
LookingAhead has a hellacious headache.
How I did it: Much to my surprise, last year I found myself hospitalized for three weeks for depression and suicide. While in the hospital, the patients have to write a list of positive things we want to do once we get out, and riding horses was #1 on my list. (I had ridden a lot as a child and as a teenager, even had my own horses, so this was something I wanted to get back into.) Astonishingly, within a week of my getting out of the hospital, I met a… Read how I did it…

Why, I have a horse and I haven’t ridden for nearly 2 years now. That seems crazy, but for one reason or another, I retired.
I still feel guilty that I don’t spend enough time with my GG though…

The Swan Monastery is close to us in the mountains, and they’re supposed to offer a nice trip. Haven’t been horseback riding for years and would love to take the kids. Not sure we can afford it this year, though, since we’ve taken some pretty great and expensive vacations this summer.
instead of the typical “will this machine fit a queen size comforter?”
at the end of it all, i told her about 43things and my goal to go horseback riding this winter. she says
“I am a horseback riding teacher.”
she said to call her this winter. winter riding is fun she said.

Well I went horseback riding with a girl I met through another friend. She told me to come down any time I wanted to ride. I went to her house, and we went out for 3 hours! It was great. The weather was perfect, we did some trail blazing, and saw some beautiful scenery on her property. Will definitely be going as much as I can. I want to learn to learn how to become proficient at riding…:)
It’s been such a long time since I’ve gone horseback riding and I absolutely loved it.
as something i really want to do again. i havent been on horseback in 15 years. i keep having this image in my mind of me riding on a good horse under a blue sky in wintertime, all bundled up and happier than anything! it would feel so good and make me so happy to do this.
