I love horses and the simple elegance of horse riding. Though I am a far cry from a true equestrian I have always enjoyed every second spent in the ring. I also greatly enjoy the one on one time spent with a horse when you are putting the tack on and grooming. There is nothing like walking into a barn and the atmosphere there. The smell of leather and hay mixed with the sound of the occasional whinny from a horse...I could just stay in a barn with horses all day long. Especially if I was in one of these barns!! Oh la la, they take my breath away.
