Default Rode a horse today!!!!

Went with Rachel to the stables today and was talked into having a go.

I can honestly say it seems a hell of a long way to the floor when you are on the back of a 17h horse

Scared?

You could smell the fear

I've done a couple of treks on holiday but those horses are fairly small and almost ride themselves.

Thomas is a BIG horse.

I actually fancy another go at it.

I have seen Thomas and fook me! I'm 6ft 3ins and he is at least 3-4inches taller!

And steve aint short either, watched him walk down the field to collect the horse and as he got closer compaired to the horse, he just kept getting smaller... and smaller

I wouldn't get on the fooker, I have a fear of hights
