learn to ride horseback

I have one horse; my baby, Zip. I’ve been playing with him since he was a 3 year-old and I just love him to pieces. I know that I’ll be riding horses for the rest of my life, I don’t care if I’m living off green beans to do it either.

horses are something that are left over from my childhood. i’ve been into horses sense i was a wee lass. nothing is cooler in my opinion. i’ve got two currently. sniffs. i sold one. broke my heart to do it. and i might have to get rid of the others, but horses are the center of my world.
its not so much as the riding, though i do love that. its just the presence of them is soothing to someone who is as wound up as me. i mean if given a seat under a shade tree, and a cut out frame i could watch horses all day long.
but i would like to improve my seat. maybe learn to do some trick riding, and training. but that is going to take time and money. the latter i seem to be in constantly running low on. i’d even want to compete. i like the idea of cross country. the showmen ship thing, and 3day eventing is cool… but i think too prissy. and dont get me started on thoroughbred racing. endurance racing, like dog sledding is working with your horse across rough terrain, and a lot of physical exercise. so i’d also have to work out to. tone up. and built up some endurance. cuz you know i have a 9ta5 job like most you yuks out there.
