My horse riding adventure! (pics)

You look like you had a wonderful time! The horses are beautiful. I remember when I use to do horseback riding. I haven't done it in awhile though because of school, I've been real busy. But I always use to have the greatest time. Horses are amazing animals.

Kirsten - Neat pictures-this is the first time I've actually seen anyone ride an Icelandic - we don't have those here. Don't worry about falling off, the pony isn't very high so I don't think you'll get hurt. Glad to see you're being smart about wearing a helmet though. Horses and ponies are pretty surefooted, trust it to not go where it knows it will be unsafe. You'll be hooked in no time and probably will end up owning your own...lucky you.

Yes, you're right, horses are wonderful animals. Never had the chance before in my life to be around them, so I'm really grateful for the offer to ride one now.

Yes, I was also told that Icelandics are very surefooted, which was a good thing when we rode down that steep forest hill - not on a path, but between the trees. I just trusted "my" horse and thought she would probably know what to do. LOL And she did a great job!

Unfortunately, I had to cancel my next lesson this week because I'm ill, but I hope I can ride again in a couple of weeks.

Well, guess unless I'd win the lottery, I won't.
