Horsin' Around

Went to the barn last week and convinced my friend to ride out on the path with me! We got another boarder to come with us and we all lost control of our horses!! They ran like they were free and had just come alive. It was amazing! I knew once Blondie got ahold of the bit there was no holding her back. I just held fast with my legs, turned in my knees, and grabbed some mane as she galloped with excitement. And surprisingly I wasn't scared at all. I had a smile on my face the whole time! I even laughed because I was so happy. There I was, about to die, and I was the happiest person in the world. Amazing what horses can do..
We rode bareback while we cooled our horses off. My friend had never ridden bareback before so it took a little convincing on my behalf. But once she gave in, she loved it!! Now we love riding bareback!! We can't canter or jump bareback...but we're learning. 
     But can you imagine? Heading full force down a grassy path, no control, wind in your face, hair flying, sun shining, smile bigger than ever...it's the best feeling in the world. The rush, the adrenaline, the freedom!! It's the feeling I LIVE for. Why I love horses! They make you come alive. Help you find something to live for. They are amazing, and I will love my horse until the day I die.
