Default Horses

Does anyone keep horses or go riding regularly on here?

I've been having a bit of a craving lately for riding but I'm pretty sure I'm too fat now I only live 5 mins from Cardiff Riding School too.

my 3/4 bred was put down two years ago, have not ridden since.

I do really miss it though.

Yep Ive always been big into my horses, kept a few and ridden a good deal more! You should give it a go athravan, nothing more enjoyable than time out on a horse ( a well bahaved one anyway!)

Ive had a piebald irish cob, best hunter Im ever likely to own, jumped gates, wire, hedges and anything else you pointed him at!
Also had a hanovarian showjumping mare, a little egyptian arab mare who was an absolute joy and a connemara x arab gelding.
A slightly odd bunch, but all cracking horses.

I had a 2 hour trek in Cyprus last Sept.. other than that I haven't ridden in 8 years and have put on a LOT of weight since then so just don't feel that confident on a horse I guess. The trek was fun though, beautiful views and I had no idea they had such nice horses in Cyprus.

I think once you have started riding its something you can never really get out of your system. After I got rid of the hano I didnt ride for a while, but in the end I had to get back on, I just missed it too much.

I LOVE riding! I used to work at a stables which was loads of fun when new horses came in. I left and started having lessons somewhere else but im having a bit of a break from them now. Really miss the horse i got way too attached to though.
