ABC Wednesday

This was one of those weeks (of which I think there will be many!) when I wondered why I decided to have a theme for ABC Wednesday! It’s hard enough for me to even remember to do the posts, let alone have to come up with ideas under the theme of hobbies. I may not make it to Z! Anyway….here goes....late but done.

E is for Equestrian

We have never had horses, nor have horses been our hobby! But we have many friends who do. I have no pictures of them, though. But I have been on a horse and have pictures to prove it. :)
Hubby and I went to Glacier National Park in Montana for our honeymoon in 1980. We took a horse ride on one of our days there. We wanted to do the 6 hour ride but it was cancelled due to snow along the trail. All they were doing were 2 hour rides. We were thinking 2 hours was lame…but thank you Jesus the others were cancelled! We were sore, sore, sore. Who knew sitting in a saddle would be so hard on one's backside? What did we know at 19?!


Fast forward 26 years later. We are back in Glacier on vacation. Staying in the hotel we couldn’t afford on our honeymoon…so fun....and decide we *have* to ride horses again. There was no question about how long of a ride we’d go on….give us the shortest one! Age brings wisdom, huh?


Check out ABC Wednesday for more blogs participating. It’s fun!

We rode mules down into the canyon at Bryce a few years ago. Our only horse experience in years.

You look good on those beautiful horses and yes I dó know that it isn't as easy as it seems to be.
My entry is equestrian too, but different.

I'm glad you made a post!! Remember you can always back date them, LOL!
I have always loved the picture of you looking behind you. And the horses you are riding in the last picture are both beautiful!
