Bit Of Hope Ranch

My safe haven, the place we like to go to forget all our troubles. I just love it there. Kyle rode for the first time a few weeks ago. He has put in many many hours and never even logged them. He does not have an interest in riding much. But that is okay, I am just glad he tried. I rode a couple of times too and I love it. I am still a little nervous and saddened that age changes your whole state of mind and takes away the fun it seems. When I was younger I thought nothing of hopping on a horse and just going. Now as an adult I think 50 steps ahead, the horse has knocked me off, I visualize myself in the hospital, no insurance.... etc... maybe I need medication? no... but seriously, I am working on how to let go more often and just let it be. what will be will be.
Kayla is in 4-H and will be riding in shows and I for the most part will live vicariously through her. I envy her attitude, she is smart enough to know the risks and is not careless but she moves forward and pushes herself as much as she can. She is such a hard worker too. she was meant to live on a farm.
