It provided therapy riding for adults and children. I loved doing it. Every week I try to get a horse fix – even at my age. That’s why I continue working the day job!

Your book sounds really interesting. You’re right I’m attracted to Cowboys even still at my age. Growing up with riding horses, being a Cowgirl/Cowboy, I always wanted to marry a Cowboy, still do, lol! I grew up with four brothers and neighborhood full of boys, so I was a tomboy so that’s why I put Cowboy. I own a horse growing up and I rode for a stable jumping their horses for them. When I turned 16 got a job through school, so between job and school I had to give up my horse. Bull riding is a great sport but to me it’s a dangerous one. I knew there was a lot of Cowboys that rode bulls but I didn’t know the numbers are that high. Would love to see a picture of you riding the stuff bull! What about a mechanical bull, would you try one? I always thought I would like to try one, that was when I was younger. I agree with you that Cowboys are represented as individualism, independence, freedom, courage, loyalty, and much more. Bull riders are fierce, rough, and grueling sport with roots deeply imbedded in American culture. I hope it never dies! Let’s just hope the generation now and the future keep it alive.
For the past year I have been riding again but as Therapy Riding. I’m disabled since 2005, the riding does help with therapy, the physical, motion, strength and emotion. It’s been proven that riding horses does help with therapy. I love it! I don’t get to go much, like I would, I’d be there everyday, but I don’t have the money. It’s been over 40 yrs since I rode, but it’s like riding a bike, you never forget.
