ROFL!
My older sister had a friend who owned a horse and *she* was allowed to go riding all the time. When I asked if I could go, too, the answer (from my folks) was always a resounding, "NO!"
Looking back on it, I think their reasoning took into consideration that I was *so* hyperactive and a risk-taker who had previously broken my collar-bone, they preferred that I not break anything else.
Your picture is lovely - I'll bet your collection is outstanding. Thank you for sharing!

When he gets on a horse, he is poetry in motion. He is a little short fireplug (like me) but a natural rider with tremendous balance and drive. And like many ADHD kids he's absolutely fearless, and he takes no guff off any horse. It's a pleasure to watch him handle a difficult horse, and HE enjoys doing something that he is naturally "the best" at . . . my daughter has the perfect equitation body (long legs, short body, very thin) but she is a bit tense in the saddle and unbalances forward.
Go ahead and start some lessons with the best instructor you can find. You'll love it. I'd recommend my trainer, but she's west of Kennesaw Battlefield Park!
