I’m an equestrian who is currently without a horse. I haven’t ridden in three years, which is the longest I’ve ever been away from riding. What was meant to be a temporary hiatus, has stretched on unexpectedly. The end is finally in sight, but it will still be a while before I can get back in the saddle.
After so long being idle, I’ve decided it’s time to start getting ready to get back onto horses. Even when we’re not riding, there is always so much to learn. Plus, there are muscles that need to be gotten back in shape, so that I don’t suffer too much when I finally get a chance to mount up again.
