I used to ride all the time. I used to ride, train, and show horses. I stopped riding when I was pregnant with Kitten, who is now 15. (At that time, the only horses I had to ride were not ridden often, so they weren't suitable for a pregnant mama to ride.) I didn't mean to stop forever!

Kitten is terribly allergic to horses, and my body hurts easily.

But a few years ago, Monkey took lessons and I took a few too. That was awesome! We were just getting a groove going when we decided we'd better move to FL.

Monkey took some lessons here in FL too, but we didn't like the instructor, and haven't had time/money to pursue it again. And it's so hot and steamy most of the time. And now she's really into theater.

When we did ride, here is the process:

1) Go riding
2) Change into fresh clothes before getting into the car to go home.
3) Once home, strip to naked in the garage and go shower. All clothes go in the washer.

This process is to protect Kitten from getting an asthma attack from her allergies.

I really miss it. But I have less than zero time, and no money at all to do it. It feels like it was a lifetime ago!

My parents still have a few horses left. They are pets and "yard decorations." LOL! They never did ride very much. They are a few states away from us.
