"Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat,
It’s the rhythm
of your life.
It’s the expression
in time and movement,
in happiness, joy, sadness and envy.
-Jacques d’Ambroise''
I’ve never gone but I think I’d be too afraid of falling off.
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
I used to ride a lot, but I stopped 5 years ago due to financial reasons. Horses are one of my favourite animals, they are so intelligent and beautiful. I wish I had more occassions to interact with horses, not necessarily ride, but only be with them.
I haven't been in a few years, but it's one of my favourite outdoor activities. I used to take lessons when I was younger and my family would always go riding when we went away on holiday. I'd love to go again if the opportunity arises!
I've been horseback riding, but I haven't had the chance to do it since I was in high school. I had a friend who owned several horses, so that gave me the opportunity to experience it. If memory serves, I did really enjoy it once I got the hang of it and would definitely be willing to do it again!
wanderlust consumed her;
foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.
she had a gypsy soul
and a vibrant heart for the unknown.

I used to have riding lessons as a child - the riding stables I learned to ride at had all the horses named after food which made it more fun , I went on a riding holiday once and all I remember from the riding holiday is that I was frightened of the horse I was given on loan… and homesick.
But at the riding stables I learned to ride at I got up to the walk trot canter beginners jump class.
I had to quit though as it was getting way to expensive I also used to volunteer at the riding stables as a junior yard helper where I would like help out with the beginner riding lessons , muck out the stables and fill the haynets and help out with cleaning tack etc and also turning out the horses at night we could also take exams to be promoted to a secondary junior helper etc. they were called progressive riding exams . When there was a foot and mouth outbreak they let go a lot of the junior helpers to contain the outbreak which meant they let me go. Those days spent at the riding stables at the weekends were some of the best days of my childhood.
'There will be bad days, there will be good days, there will be really bad days, and really good days, and days that are not bad or good but just simply suck, but either way you got through it and you are here today and that is all that really matters''

I've never been horsebacking riding. Part of me would like to try it but equally I worry about getting injured. My best friend, when I was little, had horses and she was good at riding and showing them
