Good morning! wow, we'll be close to 70 degrees today... joe wants to possibly go horseback riding tomorrow which will be cool. i'd like to go to the don donnelly stables out in apache junction but i don't think he wants to drive that far. so i also looked into the ponderosa stables at south mountain (which i've been to before and really liked) and the white tanks stables way out west near the air force base but they sound much more regimented than the other 2...

 

i just want to go horseback riding!  i haven't done it for YEARS now... i'm not any GOOD at it but i ENJOY it, lol!  i bounce along like a greenhorn but i don't care! =]

Kelly, that sounds like FUN.  I love horses, but never owned one.

The neighbors across the street have two beautiful horses.  She rides

in a group called Lone Star Cowgirls.  They are popular in my town and

they do benefits for the troops, too.  They ride in parade and have won awards. 

They ride paints, and 2 of the horses live across the street.  Kelly, I hope

you get to go!

they sound really cool!  i like stuff like that!

 

it's funny, i grew up in globe which is a HUGE ranching town... (that, and copper!) ... LOTS of people had horses. it was necessary for the ranchers. even my sister had a horse when i was little. she and her husband had a house near the railroad tracks with a little corral and a horse... i was maybe 3... so my niece and nephew were about 4 or 5... we were little tykes... and my sister put the 3 of us on this horse. it was a mean horse! LOL!  i was on the rear flank and my sister was walking it around the inside of the corral when it suddenly decided it didn't LIKE having us on its back and, in the middle of a turn, just FLOPPED OVER on its side!  i don't know about dawn and robbie, but my left leg was trapped under the muscular rear flank of that horse and IT HURT!  i remember laying there and turning my head from side to side to see where everyone was (and probably why they weren't HELPING me!) and i was scraping my fat little cheeks in the dirt! LOL!  so i didn't have a good experience with horses and didn't have much to do with them again till i was a teenager and someone rode one up to the community center and let me ride. Again, it didn't like me (i must give out bad vibes to horses!) and i didn't ride again till my 20s! (in that case, a dog came out of nowhere and made my horse rear up... i lost my sunglasses and am glad i STAYED on the horse!)  oh yeah... and there was the dude ranch incident when i was 18. my horse tried to commit suicide by jumping into the river with me on him. i had a bunch of people chasing after us cuz the horse had yanked the reins out of my hands when he took off unexpectedly like that! LOL...

 

**sigh** but i don't learn quick... i still want to ride horses! =] i probably have a picture of me on a horse... somewhere... with that really bad perm and possibly with adrian zmed in the shot... i don't know... i think i was fixated on the bad haircut... LOL!
