What are they like? (The Horses), my favourite ones are those all black stallion types, think Highwaymen! This is pretty amazing as my main "incident" was when as an inexperienced rider someone put me on a huge Black Stallion...
The Stallion was being led on a woodland walk but he did everything in his power to break one of my legs...had to keep leaping onto the saddle to avoid them being smacked into trees. Very nerve wracking and not at all "Thelwell ponies"
The next one was a big cart horse, my friend put me on him to try and get me back on a horse...I liked him and we went wandering off together, he was brilliant (not exactly riding though was it).
Finally we were at Centre Parks and I thought, "Now or Never, lets go on a horse riding lesson!" Left alone with a bloomin great big horse to hold while they collected hubbies horse....he bit me, great big blue bruise on my upper arm....then (after he'd got my measure) he proceeded to try and bash my legs into the fence (sound familiar?) Then it poured down with rain....
I'm not cut out for riding but admire your skills in keeping on and to me you'd be Harvey Smith!!
