Growing up, we lived out in the country and we had horses. We lived down an old dirt road, had a garden, played outside from sun up till sun down and we rode horses. Our first was a Shetland pony, then as my sister and I got too tall for the pony, we got a couple of quarter horses and a Tennessee walking horse. I have loved horses my whole life, but as I put on more and more weight, I was afraid I weighed too much to ride, and also it was harder and harder to get up on the horse, putting so much weight in the stirrup....in fact, the last time I remember riding was on a deacon's retreat and Bo Bradley and Robert Hemphill had to help boost me up on the horse.
Well, there is a farm near our home that has trail rides and you can rent their horses. They are beautiful. There is a weight limit to ride. I want to be well under the weight limit in case they pull out a rusty ole scale, I would die of embarrassment if I was over the limit.
Soooooo............I cannot wait until I reach that first personal goal and reward myself with going horse back riding.
