Last night I had my first horse ride for 4 years. I had done no riding since I retired my horse and couldn't afford another one. She was sadly PTS last year and I decided I couldn't stand not being with horses any more. So off I went to the local school and booked a lesson. Since they didn't know me I had the school plod, 16hh of horse that thought it should be in a static display but it was great walk, trot, canter and over a small pole. Then a quick trip round the woods all for £16. I have been promised a go faster horse next week. A few aches and pain this morning but the best bit I came home again smelling of horses - bliss !

I love it when you havent been around horses for ages then you smell that horsey smell!!! cant beat it!!

That horsey smell is great isn't it. Well done to you going back to riding again. I never did.
