Oh Bonnie
I am so excited for you. I bet you don't sleep much tonight thinking about your time with the horse in the water. I've only ridden horses a few times in my life and only at stables where the horses are trained for inexperienced riders. I remember as a young child going for a trail ride with my Dad. He was a proper reserved military man and I never imagined he could ride a horse; especially in his late 50's. Boy could he ride and we had a fun afternoon even though I got bucked off! Never rode much except to take our sons out a few times. One of my fondest memories was riding on the beach.
I hope you have the best time and it all comes back to you. I imagine its like riding a bike you never forget.
