Day 10: How your friends/family feel about your riding

My family isn't all that thrilled with my riding.  They're all hockey players and are fairly certain I sit on my horse and she does all the work.  At this point it's not worth trying to convince them otherwise.  Thankfully I have the most amazing group of friends, made through riding horses, many of which I consider family at this point.  To commemorate those relationships, I'm going to post a crap ton of photos.



Friends from Journey's End Farm, 2009ish?

    My family never really got my riding either, and my dad is convinced it's not a cardio activity. That being said, they supported it enough financially and have learned to accept it so I can't complain :)

      I was fortunately blessed with a grandmother who rode as a kid and therefore funded my riding when I was younger (and still helps to do so today). Without that I really don't know if I would have started riding till a much older age.
