I had a similar experience when I was in camp as a kid.... and never got on a horse again. Part of it is letting go of fear, but the other part is that I just don't enjoy it, so why take the risk? :)
Good point! Yeah, if it was something I really wanted to do I might attempt it again, with better instruction and all. But I'm not motivated, especially as the bones get more brittle with age! It was a cool experience to have once, being able to connect in that way with the horse. I've had some other times when I let go of fear and things worked out, which maybe I'll write about in the future.

Wow, Rosana, that’s a life lesson…
One I need to keep reminding myself about!
