Awh the horses are so adorable.
Looks like you had a blast!
I remember when i first rode a horse, i was so sore the next day as well.
Or more like for a week i was sore.
Though it was definitely worth it!

If I'm right then horseriding can even be good for the back as you need the muscles to keep you straight.
They are both so cute- lovely faces

Soncat and I both rode horses but unfortunately it doesn't fit in our schedules anymore. Soncat was a jumper and has won 40 ribbons jumping in competitions. My passion was dressage. Soncat worked as a stable manager for a few years and was also a riding instructor. He taught therapeutic riding to physically and mentally disabled children, three of his students medaled in the special olympics. He also taught able bodied and was my instructor for awhile. We had a joke going; he would say "The only reason you don't want to jump is you're too scared." My response always was, "You're right, I am. The only reason you don't do dressage is you can't ride a straight line" To that he would always agree.

Riding is a very enjoyable experience and you use muscles for riding that aren't used in other activities. After lessons I'd ache for days.....but it hurt so good. The horses are beautiful! I hope you enjoy riding as much as we do! Just one thing, always wear a helmet!!!!!
