During the lesson, I rode Skye, a beautiful horse with a gentle temperament and a stunning white and grey-speckled coat. I had the opportunity to lead Skye back to the stables and assist with untacking. In conversation with the yard helper, I admitted to a fear of maneuvering around horses.
During this lesson, I discovered that the horse’s fringe is called a forelock, which I found incredibly cute. I also engaged in some grooming, brushing the horse’s body to remove dirt and dust.
I decided to take up horseback riding just two days before my 19th birthday. While a few friends had dabbled in horseback riding during their younger years, I hadn’t quite earned the label of a “horse girl” myself.
