Hi guys feeling a bit brighter now ..phew what a horrible few weeks it has been. Well i have been having a good think , since my heart attack and all the other things ..my beautiful dogs going etc and decided its about time i got off my  and started to do the things i used to enjoy so much. Before i got ill , i always had horses but of course gave it up. Not any more  A friend of mine has always said i could go ride her horse anytime , but i have never really done anything about it ....till now ..oh how good it feels to be back in the saddle and although i cant have my own horse again , i have been offered one to ride by a lady at the livery yard who hasnt enough time to spend with it as she would like . So while i can, im going to ride , i dont care its winter , i got my thermals ! I will always drop in here , but i might not post as much as usual , it doesnt mean im not being nosey and keeping an eye on you all , it justs means im asleep in front the fire after all the fresh air and exercise !!! My best wishes to you all lots of love  |

Your post brought a smile to my face! I can just see you out there riding, all bundled up and having a great time. Great job, Kickstart  Glad you made such a good choice. |

That was so wonderful to read about the horses and the riding. I grew up with my own horse and rode her almost every day when I was home from boarding school. I haven't ridden since my transplant and that was a long time ago. Be sure to post occasionally about how terrific it feels, so I can live vicariously through you. |

How fun that sounds! I have never been much of a horse girl - even in Texas! But the few times I have were a thrill. Enjoy life - that's what each day should be full of.
