I havent’ been riding for years, and I miss it. Wish I had a friend who would take me riding again. though I don’t miss the sore thighs.
Cynthia: Last time I rode a horse I was just a kid. I’m 54 now. I don’t remember being sore.. LOL
I know of this farm in Vineland, NJ that is just awsome!! My kids love it there. They take riding lessons, vaulting lessons, and they both had a birthday party there. You really need to check this place out. IndianTrailFarm.com has a lot of cool pictures and video of the place. I believe that Indian Trail Farm in Vineland is the best place to go in South Jersey if your interested in horses.
