Horses and Snow. Hate and Love.

When I was younger, I went to a friend's horseback riding birthday party.  As we rode along the trail that went along the road, a car drove past, spooked the horses and BAM.  I, along with everyone else, was thrown from the horses. This was a traumatic experience. I swore horses off for the rest of my life.

Well, until summer 2006 when I was a 17 year old, almost college freshman. PC was offering trips for incoming freshman to get together and meet. Well, I had two options for this trip. Horses or water. Two things I hate a lot. I chose what I thought would be the lesser of two evils, horses. That was the last time I rode a horse. Summer 2006.

This past weekend, Chrissy, mom and I met my aunt, uncle and Blake at HHI. Well, we took Blake to the stables. Luckily for me, the adult horseback riding was ALLLL booked up. See pictures. So few of me and the horses.

 As you can see from the picture to the left, I was a little scared. Blake tried to coach me into it, but I still screamed whenever the horse got close. I literally could not have been happier than when the woman told us the rides were all booked up.

 I LOVE snow. I think it is so pretty. Well, we have been lucky enough to already have 2 substantial snows this winter. Here are some pics of this one.
