The Horses' backs didn't break! The boat didn't sink!
Jan 05, 2009
I hadn't ridden a horse since I was a kid. I was afraid. Not of falling off or being thrown. Afraid I would break the poor horse's back. Afraid I couldn't hoist my fat arse up half my height and then swing my leg over. Afraid I wouldn't fit in the saddle. Afraid everyone would laugh at me. Afraid they would be disgusted for the agony I was causing that poor horse. Well, Saturday was a red letter day. I rode two horses. I mounted them with ease. I fit in the saddle. Their backs didn't break. I had the time of my life! I cannot begin to express the joy I had riding those beautiful steads ... a real sense of accomplishment! Then I went paddleboat riding. It didn't sink when I sat down! It didn't tip when I stepped in! And I paddled tirelessly, my legs didn't give out and I didn't pant and sweat. What a great day!!
