Horseback riding

So, I wanted to ride a horse. I love horses. They are so powerful and have an erie calmness about them. So, why did I choose to ride a horse in Mexico when I live in the Derby City? I am not really sure... But I did it and was very pleased.

My horses name was Dingo and Stef's horses name was Century. Stef's horse had more attitude and pretty much did what he wanted. I think Javier, our guide spent most of his time yelling, "Stefooonie" over and over, trying to get her to take control of a crazy horse. She was a champ though and it was a lot of fun! He called me "La-U-Ra", emphasizing the "U", which I thought was very cute!

I was very surprised at how loose they let us in the jungle, especially because our horses misbehaved a lot, trying to go in the wrong direction to steal some food. It was up to us to get them in the water and on the right trail. Very cool!
