[QUOTE="fatcat216, post: 1272678, member: 82767"] Funny story here as well. Never having grown up, I spent a lifetime dreaming of horses...... ....about the same time I settled on a dirtbike as my cheap alternative to horses my neighbors decided they would give my daughter horseback lessons. (I gave her the choice between the two. She wisely hedged that she could have the best of both worlds by choosing the horse lessons. ) We'd ridden trail rides here and in Montana in the previous years, she loved it, never had a problem.... But the very first lesson, the very first day.... the grooming and prep had my kid watery eyed and sneezing before she got on the horse. I gave her some benadryl or something which didn't even take the edge off. An hour of really nice riding and some evidence of natural seat abilities later, we pulled her off the horse. Man, she looked bad..... The little trooper said she was willing to take lessons drugged and with a gas mask...alas... My neighbors were like "uh, no". She still thinks "when we move to Ireland" it's gonna be all dirtbikes and horses. Lol. Personally, with four pets in the house and one unwelcome freeloader, I'm very thankful for one less creature to deal with...Like everyone else has said- it's nice to be able to put your faithful steed in the shed and just ignore it for a few months if need be. Call me cold and unsentimental, but that works for me these days. Now...if only I could get rid of that shrew that tap dances in my attic at night... [/QUOTE]
