Post a CommentWhere do ya live maybe Ican help. Dont post an address or anything just the city.
i love horses lots but i can not find horsecamps near me 4 the summer
I have been on one horse, as a kid and fell off it. Not been back on one since.
I wish I could have grown up taking lessons. I ride when on vacation but I have to admit I'm terrified of horses. They never listen to me and one time my horse in Hawaii almost went off of a cliff. I'm too much of a softy when it comes to animals. :-) You've provided great info!
Excellent article, Randy!
Good info for people interested in horse riding lessons.
