It's been a while since I have been on a horse. Several years, really, unless you count wandering around an arena a couple of times, which I don't.
I made a pact with myself. This year, I will lose weight, get fit, and climb on the horse I bought two years ago for myself that my kids have been enjoying.
This is the year I re-learn everything I have forgotten. How to post, how to sit the canter, quiet hands. This is the year I finally, FINALLY, re-use the atrophied riding muscles.
I started this blog to keep myself on track, and to hopefully find some friends going through the same process.
Join me in my journey back to competitive horsemanship! My goal is to compete in a local schooling show next summer and not embarrass myself. To get there, I promised I would lose 80 pounds, re-learn to ride, and find a trainer to keep me going.
Let's see if I can manage all that.
