Kind of dull and drizzly today, but at least it's not cold!

I have always wanted to go to either Badminton or Burleigh horse trials....one day!


Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break) (sandyj21) Kara wrote: "what's that?"

Do you mean the horse trials? Its a three day event with dressage, cross-country and showjumping. The tops riders from all over the world compete.


Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break) (sandyj21) I am sorry to hear that. Horses are wonderful creatures...is there any particular reason why?


Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break) (sandyj21) Not all of them....find a welsh mountain pony and introduce yourself....they are the gentlest nicest natured creatures. And the mighty Clydesdales are lovely and gentle also.
But having said that I have known a few psychotic racehorses and show horses in my time...

I hate to think how many times I have fallen off over the years....one or two of those psychotic horses I mentioned were mine!


message 24: by Katie (new)

Katie Burke (katiekate98) I've never rode a horse, but I want to try at some point in my life.


Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break) (sandyj21) Kara wrote: "I want to try riding a horse again but every time I get close, I get scared"

Forget about riding one for a while and find one you can make friends with...then go from there. Riding will become a natural extension. Horses are a bit like dogs - they know when you are scared. So find someone with a lovely old pet horse, or go visit a Riding for the Disabled Group. Their horses are just so lovely and quiet.

Katie, there is no more wonderful feeling than riding a horse through the surf at a beach...it is my special happy place, not that I ride very often at all now because of my knee....but the memories are wonderful. But about once a year I go to a beach about an hour south of here and hire a horse for the afternoon . I regret it the next day.....but it is worth it!

That just sounds fun and amazing. I wish I lived close enough to the beach to do that one day.

Thomas (thomassweeney) | 24 comments Kara wrote: "Wow! You were around here"

Ha ha! Some would say that I get around a bit. Music was my main focus then, so travel and constant movement was the norm. :-) I still perform regularly, but not near the intensity of my time in the bay area.
