I've been a member on here for a while but haven't been on in a very long time. During that time, I've started taking riding lessons!

As a kid I always loved animals, and my mom used to basically live in her saddle when she was young so that got passed on to me but I was never able to take lessons when I was a kid - either my parents were working and not able to take me, and then when they finally would have been able to take me we didn't have the money for it.

Now, at 18 years old I'm finally getting formal training on how to ride and I couldn't be happier! I'm half leasing a horse at my stable for the next month and if it were closer I would honestly be there every day. Anybody else on here start late like me?
