No I didn't ride, I held the horse's reins and led the pony with Anaiya on it around.

Gims, those were my thoughts too. If children were more involved with animals, I could imagine it could be the alternative to computer overuse and even starting drugs.

Yes, Ann, I think you're right. Girls seek relationships more than boys do in that age. I would have loved my boys to horse back ride, but they weren't interested. I could never understand that. I used to be an avid horseback rider. Do you ride, gims?
