I used to ride a lot. My mom and I used to show horses and we never had a better time. We usually rode Western, but sometimes we did English. I didn't find learning English as hard as some Westerners make it out to be (of which I am one). I am from Montana and you don't see a lot of English saddles around here. I didn't find it so hard (once I got on since I am rather short) because I spent most of my childhood riding horses bareback. When I got Epilepsy at 11 my dr told me to stop riding and it got me very upset. As far as I was concerned then there wasn't life without horses! My dad on the other end told me I could think of my Epilepsy as as a handicap or a G**D*** nuisance. Then he handed me my English riding helmet. Needless to say I rode horses until I got married and had to move away, Lack of funds to keep my horse made me sell him and I regret it to this day. Someday I hope to live at a place where I can have another horse not to mention being able to afford buying and keepin one. But thanks to my dad I had a great childhood on the back of my horses.
