    "A horse is a horse of course, of course."

    During a weekend away I got to go horse back riding. It had been many
years since I had been on a horse but a few things come back to you fairly
quick.

    My bottom was a little sore for a while from the horseback riding but I'll do
it again, any chance I get.

        I have learned a few more tips about riding horses.

    1.    I found out that horses don't always give you fair warning when
making abrupt turns.
    2.    I found out that you're suppose to sit on top of the saddle, as
opposed to hanging on the side.
                (Too bad nobody got a picture of my unplanned stunt riding.)
    3.    When a horse wants to run you should just let it and HANG ON!!
And...........
    4.    To get a horse to go forward you add pressure to his sides with
your legs. When the horse begins to trots it makes you bounce up and down causing
your legs to bounce and kick the horse in the sides which makes the horse go
forward, faster, 
which causes your legs to bounce more, and kick its sides more, which makes the horse go faster, 
which causes your legs to bounce more, and kick its sides more, which makes the horse go faster!
which causes your legs to bounce more, and kick its sides more, which makes the horse go FASTER!!

......................get my point?
