Hi there!
Hi,  I hope you're doing well today.  I just got back from horseback riding.  Do you ride?
I actually do not ride. But many of my students are into horseback riding.
It is so much fun.  I love to ride my horse on the ranch, he is such a good working horse.
That is awesome. What are some qualities or traits that I should look for in a good horse?
You will want to look for a horse that has a calm disposition if you want to use it for riding.  You should really look into seeing if you have access to guided rides in a nearby park.
I am very interested. I tend to think of horseback riding as a relatively expensive endeavor. Are guided rides expensive?
It is not too expensive at all.  The really expensive part is owning one.  Another option would be a horseback riding simulator.  They provide the opportunity to gain the skills needed without the danger of riding on trails for a beginner.  And they are really cheap!
That is insane. I had no idea that horseback riding VR was a thing. But I guess it makes sense. My stepsister used to barrel race at rodeos. Do you ever do anything like that?
Rodeo
Rodeo ( or ) is a competitive sport that arose out of the working practices of cattle herding in Spain, Mexico, and later Central America, South America, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It was based on the skills required of the working vaqueros and later, cowboys, in what today is the western United States, western Canada, and northern Mexico. Today, it is a sporting event that involves horses and other livestock, designed to test the skill and speed of the cowboys
of the Indians came to me just before it was time to enter the arena. His horse was saddled and bridled, but he was leading the horse by the bridle. I asked him what was the matter, and he said it was a wild horse and he was not going to ride it into the arena. I went to the chief cowboy and said, 'I do not think you are doing right. You know our Indian boys have to ride bareback, but you always give them the wild horses to ride
