I have just....

[Rana]

booked a riding lesson!

Sorry, I know this sounds silly - I have my own (retired) horse and have been around horses for 23 years. But I haven't ridden for 4 years, after having had a nasty fall and then put on too much weight

I've been losing weight for nearly a year now, and really close to the weight limit of the riding school I want to go to. I emailed them to check their limit was still the same as on their website, and they said I'd be ok (I suppose 6lbs really won't make too much of a difference!).

So, on Sunday at 2pm, I'm off for my first ride in 4 years.

Pointless post, but I am SOOOO excited

*bounces off again*

 

[Lyndz]

Good Luck, i'm sure you'll be fine!

 

[EMF1]

Awwww good luck and enjoy!!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Good luck - hope your new jods arrive in time!!

 

[trundle]

Excellent - best of luck and have fun !

 

[BBH]

Good for you, you will have fun. xx

 

[Janette]

Exciting. Have the Radox ready though

 

[Rana]

Thanks everyone.

Slinkyunicorn - Fingers crossed the jods arrive in time! I've ordered a top to go with them too

Janette - Oooh, good point, will have to get some! I have a horrible feeling I will be aching a lot....At least it's only a half hour lesson, I was tempted to do a full hour but thought that might be a bit too much to start with lol.

 

[Dubsie]

Good luck, let us know how it goes - I am still contemplating after more than 25 years of not riding!

 

[samstar]

good on you rana, I've just had my 3rd lesson in over 25 years and I'm thoroughly enjoying it even though it was to boost my confidence and my wobbles in saddle

if I can do it then so can you. Ring your riding instructor tomorrow and give me an update please

Funnily enough Samstar I might (might is the operative word here) be able to have a quick go on daughters pony's companion (a lovely 16.2 28 year old TB) tomorrow night. Daughter has same size head as me, so lack of equipment isn't too much of an issue. So I'll let you know.

 

[Rana]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

Dubsie - good luck, let us know how you get on
