This weekend, I was invited to a casual "Rodeo". (AKA games and roping)
Even though I don't really ride, I decided it would be nice to get out into the fresh air. Of course, the first thing that happened as soon as I got there was that I got put on a horse and went for a trail ride - a first for me!Thankfully, the riders I was with yesterday were very patient with me, making sure that someone was always behind me during the ride, which consisted of winding our way through some bush, jumping up a hill, riding across the top of the valley for a while (practicing my trotting again - I am REALLY not good at that - very bouncy!!) before winding our way back down the hill through some fairly thick brush and back to the farm.
