Okay, I am dressed all sporty for my first horse lesson in this. The paddock boots no longer look or smell the same as they did this morning.

I went shopping yesterday and was digging the pumpkin colors that are everywhere right now.

Nice , I haven't been riding since a few times in childhood.

How did it go? and you look slimmer from just a few days ago 🙌

Thanks!

It was perfect. I haven’t been since I was a child as well. What I was wanting to get out of the first lesson was to learn more about how to be comfortable around horses, how they communicate, etc. So I learned basic handling, how to lead it around, brushing, etc. I left much more confident. Next lesson we ride. I’m already excited!

Had a very bad experience as a child riding for the first time.
Basically my parents and whoever was in charge were at fault because as a frigging 7 year old I was put on a stallion with a bad attitude right after it had rained a ton the few days before.

As the oldest of us 3 kids I wasn’t supervised and the horse took off on me, ran through the woods and threw me off, and it scared me silly.

I’m 50 and I’ve been petrified of horses ever since but I would love to try to conquer that fear. Especially since I now could physically ride at the size I am.

Okay, I was also on the hunt for some espadrilles, and found some! On sale, even. I am going up to BC next week on vacation, and wanted some comfy, but still cute, shoes.

I went with sunshine and flowers for today’s look. Ignore the derp face.

Yeah, I rode a few times as a kid. One time I did have a big stallion try to buck me off (brat). That’s one of the reasons that I am starting from scratch, with handling and learning how to horse first. I need to build my confidence up some. Even the one session was really helpful in that area. I’m 46, and it’s NEVER too late to learn something new. I am a major proponent of trying and learning All the Things. It’s just fun.

Oooo the colors and patterns remind me if a van Gogh/Klimpt mashup painting (minus the gold and deep depression 😂)

So cheerful! The cut of that dress is very flattering, plays up your curves!
