I have diabetes. I have a bicycle and a truck. I don't like working out. I like riding bikes at a state park once or twice a month. I have 3 dogs. I had horses when very young. I've played drums for over ten years.
I have a shellfish allergy. I love dogs. I work at a non-profit that helps kids. I ride horses. I own 2 horses. Used to have more. I used to love riding bikes when younger. I ride horses at least once a week. I ride bikes. I groom my horses myself.
I would like to try to get back into riding horses, would you want to go together? Yeah of course, I'd love to take you to the stable sometime.  I was planning to go this Thursday, but I can change that if another day works better for you! Thursday is great! I have drum practice in the morning but could meet you in the afternoon.  Are you able to get the afternoon off of work? Yep, Thursday is one of my early days at work and I usually spent all afternoon with the horses, so it sounds like it'll work perfectly!  When was the last time you rode? I'm just wondering how advanced you had gotten. I don't think I've been on a horse in 10 years.  And with how out of shape I've gotten, I may need to start on your most beginner horse.  But I bet I'll jump back into it quickly, just a little nervous at first!  Do you think one of your horses would be one I could ride? Oh wow, that's longer than I thought.  My horses are very well-trained, so you should have any issues there.  But we should probably stick to the flat arena near the stable and not ride anywhere else. I'll trust your judgement there! Like I said, I'm sure after a few laps around the arena I'll build my confidence back up.  How are your horses with dogs? Think I could bring mine so they could meet? That may be cool to see! Good question, I really am not sure how they'd be with your dogs.  They do encounter them from time to time and don't seem to usually have any problems, but I can't say for sure how they'll react.  How big are your dogs? 2 of them are great danes, so HUGE, and 1 is a toy poodle.  Maybe I'll leave the toy poodle at home...the great danes are so large your horses may just think they're their babies!  Are your trails smooth enough for biking too? With dogs that big you should probably keep them home, at least the first time you come with me so there's not too much new stuff happening.  The horses tend to be more comfortable in familiar settings.  You can totally bring your bike though, lots of great trails and paths for biking! Sounds like a plan. I don't want to overwhelm the horses at all, especially when they're going to be riding with someone new.  I will definitely plan on bringing my bike to enjoy afterwards.  Although it's been a while since I've done that too, haha.  Maybe this trip will get me back into being active again! Wonderful, this is going to be so much fun!  I hope you're not too sore afterwards, horse riding and then biking on some of those hills will be a real workout!
