I have something to ride!

That's great - you deserve some riding time after the past few years.

All the fun and none of the overhead makes it even better!!
I know! When I rang her I asked if she wanted a financial contribution and explained I was saving for another horse and she said "no we will pay you".

I have told her "you will NOT be paying me, I don't want payment, I'm just glad of the chance to ride!! "
 
UPDATE: went for a lovely hack on Saturday, out for about an hour. Had a bit of cramp in the legs and hip and my seat bones ached but this will disappear and I loved every second. The horse I rode is called Murphy, he's lovely, didn't seem to be bothered with vans, rattling livestock trailers or leaf blowers! I rode out with the ladies husband although they've told me I can go out on my own next week if I like and I feel confident enough now to do so. Will probably go out with the chappie again once more.

I couldn't ride this morning as the owners had other commitments but going again next week!

No aches or pains today thank goodness!
