How many "Horsey Ladies" are here?

I am! I am lucky enough to have my horse at a barn that is 4.5-5 miles (depending on which way I go) from my house. So I get the best of both worlds, I ride my bike to the barn and then get to ride my horse and then bike home again!

Everyone teases me about my 2-wheeled horse around the barn. It even gets parked in one of the stalls when I am there :-)

I am, too! My mom and I both have Morgans. Mine is a gorgeous black gelding and my Mom's is a wild chestnut mare. They're amazing.

I've been riding since my 8th birthday, but have been doing it less and less as the years go by. I used to show a lot, but it became less fun when we were doing it on our own and I didn't have a barn full of friends to do it with. When I get home from school I'll be able to ride more with my mom.

Cool to see other riders (besides those two-wheeled horses, hehe) on here.

How lucky you are to ride your bike to the barn. Our barn is 15 min away thru heavy traffic. Just 4 min from the barn is a parking lot for cyclists and a 32 mile route along the Scioto River. Last Monday I went for that 32 mile bike ride, then swung by the barn and took Dancer for a half hour spin (walk, trot, canter). It feels fantastic to hop on a horse when I'm loose and warmed up from cycling. No aches or pains!

I started riding lessons about a year ago, after 30 years of not being on a horse. I really love it. I can feel the difference in my back and my flexibility. I used to ride western, but now I'm trying English, and finding it very challenging. DH rides western, and we go together. We needed some activities after the nest emptied.
