Today was our horseback riding adventure, put on through the school. A group of about 10 or so of us got up early and got on the train to Bray. As the plan was supposed to go a bunch of guy friends of mine were supposed to be going, but people got too drunk and couldn't make it, figures. But Kyle pulled through surprisingly, so he was the only guy horseback riding with like 9 girls. haha, it looked a little funny I have to admit.
When we got to the riding school we were given riding boots and helmets for safety, then we were paired up with our horses. They tried to pick the more experienced people for the horses that were a little more wild, and the really slow ones to the beginners. I have only been horseback riding like once or twice, so I really had no idea what I was doing, but they still insisted on giving me the horse that wasn't
even allowed to stand next to the rest of the horses, Gracie. I was already nervous and then they told me that she doesn't really like the other horses, she had a bit of an attitude and that made me even more nervous. Once I got on her, the lady that worked there was trying to adjust the saddle, and Gracie tried to kick her. It was kind of funny, but then I got worried that she was just going to go crazy while I was on her.
Since Kyle was a beginner they gave him the oldest horse there I'm pretty sure. His name was Chucky.. he had a gray mane and was drooling when we first saw him. He was a sweetie though, but also a slow poke.
Amber was given a pretty sassy horse. When we were walking apparently it kept getting really close to the horse in front of it and biting its ass trying to get it out of the way. haha. I would have freaked out.
One we got on the trail Gracie was fine. I was starting to get a little comfortable on her, and then a dog ran out of the woods onto the trail in front of us and spooked her. She started to trot for a second and scared the shit out of me, but then she was fine. We walked the trails for probably an hour and a half. We climbed up part of a mountain and got a gorgeous view. By the end of the trip we were all very comfortable and attached to our horses and didn't wanna say goodbye. We had so much fun. I seriously wish that I could go riding every day. I absolutely loved it.
