i love the feeling of a giant, warm, hairy beast between my legs.

guess what i did yesterday....

that's right! i rode a horse for about 2 hours!!! [i'm the one on the right, duh]. i had never ever ridden before, and as most of you know from my previous posts, i'm afraid of horses. i'm not afraid anymore, kind of. i loved riding, it was lots of fun. i rode winston, an appaloosa. he was the sweetest thing. but when i got off the horse, i was scared to walk up to him and pat his neck. so i can handle being on a horse, but not like, walking up to it at eye level and petting it. i really want to go again. it's a surprisingly good workout. when i got off, my abs, thighs, and arms were hurting. brenna and her mother have assured me i'll feel worse in the morning, and i kind of do. i've been hobbling everywhere.

more pictures under the cut.

( perhaps not quite the man killers i once thought they were )
