Re: skeered to ride

["Joan Ruprecht" <ruprecht@tidepool.com>]

To all of you out there,

Me the antique with nearly 12,000 miles, afraid to get on?  SURE, don't fool
yourself, fear is normal and healthy, but get on and go I do, and most of
the time I forget to be afraid.  I really love it up there on top of that
animal, but I am afraid of any horse at first, I have to take a long time
building up trust, even with a horse that I have raised.

Maybe it's because I didn't start riding until I was in my 40's, but as the
kids use to say "when I am at 1 with" in this case my horse, it is a real
dream!
