Bareback Riding

Oh what a night i had......................lol

Last night was my last riding lesson before Xmas so the guys up the stables decided to give us a night to remember ! bareback riding...................

Ive only ever done it once before and nothing like last night, there were 6 of us each partnering up with someone standing by to stop the horse in case we fell off ..(don't tell my fella that part though, i didn't ! ) lol

It was totally brilliant and Ive got to say easily as exciting as jumping, you feel at one completely with the horse..

I rode a few of the horses to get the feeling of each style and the last but not the least was to go off on my own into trot (i honestly think it was near canter) as they were shouting to my partner to slow him down....hehe

Ive discovered that i can ride really well without the saddle, so my dream of riding a horse up that beach now has slightly changed, i still want to ride that horse through the surf but as nature intended, both of us free as birds without that saddle...

We finished what was a wonderful night racing up to the top of the arena still bareback acting like total children having to stick our heads in plates of icing sugar trying to find prizes that were right at the bottom of course... and i loved every minute of it........

red halls given me so much this year, its the best school ive ever been to i feel like part of the furniture now and cant wait to start the new year with the two best things ive discovered in 2008 and made part of my life.. salsa and horseriding.......

And don't worry someone sat talking photos and a video in between her hysterics so no doubt they will follow in here very shortly..........lol

Happy Christmas everyone,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
