Horsey, horsey

Yes, that is the only picture I have of me riding a horse. And it was taken with my cellphone! Why? Because no one went to see me ride, therefore didn't bother to bring the camera. Thanks to the dear caretaker. He learned to use my Nokia in 5 secs and took this beautiful picture.

The horse riding lessons were an eye opener. Have learnt many rules about being around horses and how these remarkable creatures work. These are a few pointers...

1. Never walk behind a horse...cos, they can't see! Unless you kept your presence felt. (which is to touch it while you walk behind it)
2. Whatever you do to a horse, always do it from the left side of the horse.
3. Always wear thick shoes, preferably with heel. (I don't mean high heels but thick chunky ones)

I do hope to continue my lessons but they are quite expensive. $25 per hr lesson (group lesson) $35 per hr lesson (individual)

The horse that I always take on my riding lessons was really huge. His back reaches my chest! Therefore adding on his head, he's taller than me. Everytime I jump down from him, I can always hear a "thump" on the ground. And one funny thing I learnt is they will shit while they are walking... so never walk behind one! ahahhaahahah.... and their poop are green like tennis balls. Yucks!

I will save enough money so that I can go take up lessons again.... then again... there are so many things I wanna do with my savings that it'll run dry very soon. :OP So, wish me luck and hope that my money will grow in the bank... heheheeheee...
