Ive never actually had a horse, i did start riding when i was 5 and took lessons for 11 years. I am very allergic to dust and dander and anything that comes with owning a horse so i never really thought about owning one unless i took heaps of benadryl day after day. I ride a neighbors horse every couple of days and before that, rode my aunts icelandic horse whenever i could. i cant say im the best rider but i really do love these guys,heres a recent picture.
