Can't argue there, Chris. I first learned to ride on a little Appy appropriated named Spot. :roll: But then I moved on to a nice quarter horse named Chiquita. Unfortunately, I only had just a few short years of riding lessons back in late elementary and early middle school as it got too expensive . But my old riding instructor was an old Army sarge who used to be George Patton's quarter master.

If I had any free time whatsoever (and money!), I'd start riding lessons again.
