As part of the "Before your 40 Project".
One suggestion that came in was Horse Riding.

So after ringing around, I managed to book myself a lesson and nervously went after having a healthy fear of horses since I was a teen. What an Experience I would throughly recommended, I was allowed to help groom the horse and puts its saddle on prior to my ride and this helped calm the nerves abit.

Initially I found that balance was an issue but after a few minutes it became easier and I started to enjoy riding round the paddock and how the horse would respond to the reins.

I spent 40 minutes under tuition riding round before it was  time to head back to the stables of which I wished I had booked a longer lesson. Having said that for the next 4 days I wished I had never ridden as you will find muscle you didnt know you had  "Is this why cowboys walk the way they do?".

It was a great experience that I intent to do again in the near future and wish to thank all at the White Horse Trekking Centre for making this happen.

If you havent ridden before and would love to give it a go please contact:
