Hi Horse mom!
I ride a bike because I can't afford a horse! No feed, no vet, no farrier, no stable.
I have a brother and niece who ride endurance in Idaho. He was riding one day and overheard a wannabe cowboy on a big ol' quarterhorse comment to some women about my brother's "queer" riding breeches and tiny Arab mare. My bro' mosied over and challenged him to a race- winner keeps the loser's horse. Cow-boy says race from here to where?, and my brother says "McCall and back" (about 50 miles through the mountains.) Cow-boy almost falls off his horse. Women laugh. Brother leaves with manhood intact.
Anyway, have tons of fun on the Fisher! I'm a crazy middle-aged broad myself.
