Yesterday I had to opportunity to go and ride, with the daughter of a friend of mine, their horses around South Provo. It was so glorious. I love to go horseback riding, I find it to be very freeing and just exhilarating. It made the morning awesome. We were able to draw some kids out a house and they came running out pointing and shouting.They made such a commotion that their mom, who was mowing the lawn and the time, stopped and had to figure out what they were all excited about. So we stopped and let them pet the horses for a bit. It was so fun to watch their faces contort from glee to apprehension and back to glee in a single moment.
While it is true I am no cowgirl, I can get the horse to do what I want, most of the time, with little problem. It also needs to be taken into account that I had a fairly mellow steed, but could be stubborn when he wanted to be. I am still proud I didn't fall off when he, Prince "Mallow", became skittish, or decided that he wanted to be in front by lopping ahead of Shooter. My aches are all worth it and I am looking forward to when I can do it all again.

You might want to say something to Nick about riding one of his horses...he wishes I'd ride with him & might not look too badly on a ride with you some pleasant evening!
I would love to go on a ride with him some time. He said he would let me know when he was able to,something about Max and Highway.I am waiting patiently until he decides it is time.
