Thank you everyone.  I'm thinking stress does a lot to a body.  I think he's has been stressing more over the cancer thing..more than me even.  Still no results.  Just waiting for that phone call. 

Kim, I did have a chance to ride back in the day!  I loved it!  I rode western saddle...of course.       And, I loved loved riding one horse bare back up in the foothills here in Utah County.  I really did find ways to ride from the time I was in high school into the 80's.  So I have a lot of great memories of it.  Riding along in  a spring, in a corn field..which was probably a no no.  Had my brother on the back while bare back riding when a deer jumped in front of us on a trail and just hopped along for a while.  I kicked my gal into a trot, and we followed that deer for quite a while until it jumped a fence.  This horse was my in-laws.  So had a chance to ride often.  Before then was from a gal in school.  We went for some great rides then. She was happy to have me ride, she rode her horses in rodeos..barrel racing, so wanted them kept in shape.  No problem!  I was willing to help out with that!
  Another friend had horses too.     I remember one day we went, her dad was there trying to get her to ride their stallion.  She didn't want to, he was pretty frisky all right!  I said..I will!   I hopped right up there.  Off we went..lol.   He did kick up his heels a couple of times, but he was just having fun..and so was I!

What great memories you have Cynthia, they really do sound like fantastic adventures
The stallion sounds like fun! I think when your younger you don't see the danger or the things that could happen!! When I think back to some of the things we got up to with ponies when we were kids!! Would not dream of doing them now. It's lovely to hear you did get all these chances to experience the love of horses

Cynthia, you're sending me down memory lane now as well. I rode as much as I can for about 15 years, but haven't been on a horse for about 11 years now.. I have a feeling @Yorkshire coop
 is going to get me back in the saddle soon. There are so many horses around here, it's a shame that I haven't ridden any yet.

It will be like putting on a pair of comfy shoes when you do get back in the saddle

I agree!  A shame..shame on you!  LOL...Find a horse to ride.   I wish I could still ride.  I guess I could try and get up on one.  No running a horse any more though. Guess I can walk a horse down the street..oh, makes my hips hurt just thinking about it. 
 Yes, I had about the same amount of time with horses.  Around 15 yrs.   So fun.  I can almost smell that horse smell now..love it!

Ah the smell, it's addictive
