Around the end of April I decided that I needed to do something new and fun and just for me, so I decided to start taking horseback riding lessons. I have loved horses since I was little, but I never got to ride except for random special occasions here and there. I actually think the idea to start riding was inspiration because it was exactly what I needed. It's ridiculous how amazing riding has been for me. Riding builds patience, confidence, self control, trust . . . I could go on and on.
This is me getting Cheyenne ready to ride. In case you were wondering, that thing on her face is a fly mask. It's mesh so she can see through it and it protects her eyes from the flies.
Cheyenne is my very favorite horse to ride. She's so pretty and sweet. Cheyenne is an Arabian and she's very smart and sensitive. She is a dream to ride and I love jumping with her!
That's my trainer Jessie and her silly dog Louise, who likes to try to herd the horses.
This is the arena where I ride at Zephyr Ranch. It's the most beautiful setting and a great place to ride.
Isn't this beautiful? I love the little green tractor and the mountains and this pretty little horse.
**I don't quite have a boyfriend at the moment, but I do have an update for anyone who has been wondering. I'm heading out to see my favorite Marine in November for the Marine Corps Ball. Whoo hoo! I'm not sure what will happen with us, but I'm excited for a fun trip!
