Doesn't mean they are rideable. Nor does it mean that I want every person who has ever met me to decide at some point that they want to come ride my horse and bug me incessantly about it. Yes, I will lead around a few of my friends who I offer it to, and those with horse experience and horse sense can take her out for a spin. If I don't offer it, don't assume just because I am a nice person that I am going to instantly make your dream of riding a horse one day come true, and please don't continually ask me after I say no. My horse is not a well-behaved show pony. My horse is nuts.

Haha! You don't ride? I've never owned a horse unfortunately, but I've been around them plenty, and I know how it is. Everyone wants a ride!
ReplyDeleteI do ride, but my horse was never professionally trained, and unfortunately she also has a bit of an attitude. Thus when people are uncertain she tends to take advantage of that. She also becomes a bucking bronco if she decides she wants to be done. I have learned to anticipate and deal with the problem, but other people on her can lead to safety issues...
