It’s been years and years since I was on a horse but that dominant hand holding the reins and resting on the pommel still makes me twitch. Don’t do that! Teacher’s gonna yell at you!

:D I was a deeply horse-crazy kid, my parents indulged me as much as they could, and my godparents let me ride their (kinda bratty) quarter horse. It’s been ages but I learned early so a lot of it’s still there. I’d love to have horses someday if I ever had throwing-away money.

Yeah, but there are plenty of people they would never ever ever ask, ever.

My last few times were trail rides where the horse and I would both peacefully zone out looking at the scenery while the rookies clung to their saddles with both hands. Still fun, though!

Clearly the next time y’all come through, we should all go riding.

By weird coincidence, I just found your chaps and gun belt while checking the moth trap in your closet.
