Gemstone Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 In case you don't see these on facebook, I decided to put some pics here too. When I was a child, I was fearless. As I have got older, and wiser, I become more of a wimp. Thus, it took me a year of riding lessons when I was forty to get the confidence to canter and I nearly gave up at times.I used to trot up the road while everyone else was cantering down the common and wish that I could too. Here is the evidence that I can do it now Me and lovely Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendbert Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Yay!! Well done you Fab pics and nice pink touch on the hat I know what you mean about - when I was little I didn't care how much it hurt if I fell of a pony but when I started riding again last year, I was a tad nervous to start No pink joddies?
