So, after 9 years of not being on a horse or pony, I have finally managed to 'get back in the saddle'. I was out for so long because I had put on just too much weight to ride, but 2 years ago my life turned around and had a gastric bypass. I have no regrets, and 2 years on I have my life back and am 11 stone lighter! One of my weight loss goals was to ride again, and last week it was finally achieved, when a lovely lady saw a post of mine, asking for the chance to ride, just a couple of days a week, a couple of hours at a time.
This was only last week and I am absolutely loving it! I feel so very lucky and happy to have met this lady, whom I feel after only a week I have known for years! She has invested time and patience in me, and is allowing me to ride her amazing Highland Pony called Melody and measures 14.2hh. I am so lucky! She's an amazing pony, beautiful nature, and also has patience with me
I couldn't have been more fortunate for this opportunity, and am already looking for my own pony! I have definitely caught the bug again! Watch this space, I am looking forward to sharing my adventure!
