well, I managed to get out of the habit during the strike, so it's been a while since I've actually sat down to write without distracting myself. I seem to have gotten rather proficient at slef-distraction lately

And you'll do fine, just ask to ride an older horse. Not some younge bratty shit. ;) Trust me on that.
Oh and one last thing. Don't give the horse a chance to drag you around. They will test you just like a new member of their herd if there's a bunch of them. Ask about them a lot and see what the friend allows as far as things. Casue you dont' wanna seem like a pushover to the horses, but you dont' wanna seem abusive to the owners either. Just don't let the horse top you, you got the reins for a reason, becuase your the boss. ;)
(Leanred with camels so the mechanics are simmilar but unlike a horse oyu can't break a grade 30 chain on nose and not hurt them. Either way getting the horses's respect is key.)
*laughs* My friend knows how to ride. She said she'll take me double on the horse she usually rides, and possibly on another. Probably with her holding a lead rope. She's warned me about the personality of the pony I may end up riding, and his tricks. But I trust her with horses, so it's all good.
*grins* was that when you were working at that menagerie place last year? And form what I've heard form the old man who used to live down the street form me, camels are just ornery beasts.
Camels are cool as hell. :> SPecially babies. I loved Natty and Marshal. Aka Biscuts and Gravy.
But yea if she puts you on a brat you might have em try to buck you or try some shit. And you'll need to dispipline them right off. It's liek a dog humping your leg. -You- gotta take care of it or the dog won't learn. Think of a horse as a 4yr old and it makes sence. Casue honestly, that's about how "smart" they are.
