Hammate to possibly become an animal abuser - horse riding edition Sorry, told you guys I'd have more. So hammate (choosy beggar) is talking to a guy that lives oh, about 8 hours drive from us. Whatevs, good for her. Turns out this guy is a rancher of some sort, has a working farm and horses. His daughter is an equestrian and goes to comps.  Hammate and rancher have been talking every day for a while now and I think are planning to meet up early next month. She commented today that he had asked her if she enjoyed riding horses. (obviously he does). Obviously fattie gonna lie and says "oh, yes!".   Truth bomb: she's never ridden a horse in her life. So, she says to me yeah, I've got to get this hip working so I can ride horses I guess. I'm like, yeah, better let the PT people know about it too. She says "well, I think if I can get on a bike I can ride a horse." Me: "do you understand the difference in size between a horse and a bicycle seat. You have to go from spreading your legs maybe a half a foot to probably closer to 3-4 feet. At least. Not to mention just getting saddled up. You have no idea what you're talking about and agreeing to." Oh. Well, guess I better start learning. Yeah...  I hope, beyond all hope, that when this guy sees her girth he doesn't allow her on his horses. I'm positive his daughter would throw a fit.
