Tommorow is mine and OH's fourth anniversary:love: We've decided to go horseriding as it's something I have always wated to do, but the only problem is I'm now quite scared :D

I'm not saying I've never sat on a horse, but I've certainly never independantly ridden one before. My previous experiences consist of donkeys on the beach,(I know, I was young and didn't know any better:|) one ran off with me and I fell off the other, doesn't bode well does it:suspect:

Reassure me please:lol:

You will be absolutely fine and love it :)

Be prepared for a sore bottom after the event though lol.

Happy Anniversary for tomorrow xx

I agree with all the above, and enjoy it! Though you may walk like john wayne afterwards ;)

We had an amazing time yesterday, after horseriding we went for a lovely picnic in Hillsborough Park:love:

But, horseriding, God I LOVED IT, and I wasn't bad either:D

But B_M and Lspacehopper you were both so right, I could hardly move this morning:lol: Work has been (literally) a pain in the buttocks (and thighs:|) today, but I am converted, I am going to try and go quite often now. Where we went only has an instructor on weekends and I work both days, so might start looking for other places if anyone has any recommendations? (remembering I am a poor gap year student;):hihi:)

Glad you enjoyed it!

I wish I could get my other half to come riding with me - he flatly refuses to!

I used to ride a lot before I finished school, I wish I could afford to do it again :(

That's the problem isn't it? It costs absolutley tons and tons of money to get into, I mean, if I did start riding regularly, its not just the cost of the lessons, which I could stretch to, but all the equiptment too, and I'm not exactly feeling rich at the moment!:( Gap year jobs tend to pay about 1p an hour, so we are a bit poor:lol:

Still, I'm going to try and go as often as I can, I honestly can't believe how much I loved it.

One day B_M, we will win the lottery:D:D:D

not sure about places that do group lessons if thats what ou want but where i work nr ecclesfield its £20 for half an hour priviate/one on one tuition,
you can hire a hat its just the boots you need right away and you can get some cheap ones under £20 theres a riding shop at crooks

Decathlon is good for cheaper riding stuff as well. :)
