Today I went horseback riding for the first time. Initially I was scared to ride the horse. Then my fear became more specific. How do I get on the horse? We were able to stand on a little platform, so it was easy. Our instructions were simple. Keep the horses on the trail and out of the grass. I was able to do this most of the time. When he really wanted the grass, I was instructed to use my legs. Ahh, this made it all easy and possible. The ride was beautiful and relaxing (as relaxed as I truly become) until a new fear emerged. How do I get off the horse? With my hip pain it may have been a less than graceful exit from the horse, but I did so without falling. Riding a horse was certainly more scary than jumping out of a plane. I'm glad I accomplished the task. Thanks Living Social!
P. S. Check out the natural halo around me.
