Get Out There and Ride! Do it!!

I wrote at the end of my last post about getting out there and riding. I was going to name this post, Just Do It but I think that's the Nike shoe line thingy and of course, didn't want any confusion. :-)

When the weather is nice, get out and ride. It'll clear your head, your problems with your spouse will fade to the background (well, does with me anyway...), the economy is off in the wild blue wonder and the world will get back on its axis again.

What could be better than looking at nature from the back of your favorite hoss?? I ask you!

Even when I don't feel like swinging my big ol' Billy Cook up on my mare, I still will sometimes climb aboard bareback and sit around the barn/arena and watch the world go by. Listen to the bees (or whatever those little bzzzing things are) go by and notice that there were a few flies out yesterday and need to start spraying for the boogers.

Even my cranky, bratty mare seems to enjoy getting out of her stall and meander around, knowing I'm not asking anything that requires collecting or work for that matter. Plunking down the trail. That's it.

Somehow after those sorts of 'rides' (loosely termed here), when I get in my pickup, I feel so much better and can deal with idiot people better who don't see things my way!! hehehe... The good feelings stay with me far into the evening and usually into the next day.

All in all, it's wonderful to have a horse and be able to enjoy her. Now, everyone, get out there and swing a leg over your favorite cayuse this weekend!
