Horsin’ Around

Posted by on April 12, 2012

I remember the first time I ever rode a horse.  I was in Australia.  Yes, I’m not kidding you.  I was fortunate enough to go there when I was 17 on this huge student ambassador program.  I traveled with about 30 other students and 4 chaperones, and we had homestays, and travelled around for 3 weeks.  One of the best memories of my life.

And during this trip was the first time I ever rode a horse.  We stayed at a ranch for 2 days, and on one of the days we all took a trail ride to a scenic overlook.  I was NERVOUS.  Horses are big creatures, and well, I have to admit I have a phobia of any animals that are bigger than me 😉

I loved how I felt riding the horse, but I also remember how sore I was the next day.

A few weeks ago a friend of mine invited me out to her friends horse stables.  She was helping take care of a horse for a friend that week, and she wanted to see if I would take some pictures.  Then this past Monday she invited me out again.

Horses are beautiful.  They each have a personality all in their own, and they get excited.  I love it the experience I’ve been given.  Now I just want to share some of the fun pictures I took during these days:

This is Dakota =)

A moment that I thought was truly precious.  Even horses have friends they want to say hello to =)

This is Red, a new addition to the horse stables.  He fits in really well, and is one of the sweetest horses.  Oh, and he was awfully curious about my camera 😉

There are kitties running around the horse stables.  The horses do get curious about them and greet them even.  This was a moment I couldn’t pass up.  =)

I see teeth =) I was so happy when I saw this picture.  It makes me laugh.

And my absolute favorite picture from last Monday.  An action shot of them running around caught perfectly.  Red and Big =)

It was a GREAT experience.  I hope in the future to attend a couple of horse shows and even head down to the racing track to catch more horses in action.  I hope you enjoyed these.
