Hi there 2thinchix
I too have horses... and yes, I ride
I understand what you are saying when you are nervous
That is totally normal
This is something you haven't done in some time and well, getting back on the horse can be intimidating
As far as the mounting goes, what I do (after 2 knee surgery's) is to use a mounting block
Yep, this old lady doesn't mount from the ground
My gelding is just too tall for that action right now
One other thing I do is if he's feeling frisky, I have my daughter get on him first
No shame in that!!!
She's been riding since she was 9 and she's 28 now
Then I jump on and he's perfect
Do you have anyone that can help you warm up your horse??
Get the kinks out for you
As far as the weight goes... well my fat a** on that big boy won't hurt him
We're not training for the Olympics, just leisurely riding and having fun.
That door is wide open for you girlie.... go enjoy yourself!!!!
