Hey all a barrel racing friend of mine has offered to start giving me riding lessons on the cheap in exchange for work around the stables.

I know nothing about horse riding at all sounds like it could be fun and according to my fitness thingy it'll burn around 650 calories and hour (not counting bailing stalls haha). Seems like a win win situation and a new thing to add to my workout repetoire.

Thoughts/opinion/advice?

Go for it and enjoy!

I am really jealous! have a great time. You will really burn calories muckin stalls! But the benefit will be the riding.....the world looks different at the horses eye view! Have lots of fun!

Awesome! I'm looking forward to this!
