Favourites # 5

Enjoying an early birthday present from my friend Diane... "Let's get Louise over her fear of horses!"  Diane's goal is to have me trail riding by the end of summer... Diane is so good for me... she's an amazing woman!


Diane's horse, Lacey -  She's a Grulla (you can google it)

I'm terrified at this point but covering it as well as I can by petting and talking to Lacey

Diane is close by giving me instructions on getting the horse used to me being near.

  1. What a beautiful horse! Why do you have a fear of horses ;-)? I miss trail riding although I think a horse would groan if I put my body up on one at this weight? Last time I went trail riding was up in Shuswap. Happy Early Birthday Louise! I believe it is the 6th of January?

  3. Hi Rose... The horse is Gorgeous alright.... 2 things happened when I was young... getting dumped off of a run-away horse and getting a head concussion, and being in a barn when a stallion broke out and went wild. Both of which made me never trust a horse and be scared to be close to them. But Diane loves horses and owns several with her hubby on her hobby ranch and is determined to have be trail riding with her soon :-) She's a very patient teacher and does not push me beyond my comfort level - which is so good for me! Thanks for the B-day wishes - it's tomorrow... and our anniversary - it's on Monday... so Brian and I are heading out to Jasper tomorrow and coming back on Tuesday! Awesome, eh?
