Well.

Despite being terrified of the very brusk man on the phone at the horse riding place -- I've a lesson for Sunday at 2:30p.m. -- he must have verified with me that I've never ridden before like 800-times, which was sort of freaky, but I suppose it's just so they have the right horse and instructor for me.

You know, when I came up with this cracked idea (one of many in a long history of cracked ideas), I didn't think it was that insane.

But no, it's that insane.

I've flown a plane, I can do this. I've flown a plane, I can do this.

So like... what do I wear? Jeans and solid shoes, yeah?

Oh, thank you so much, this is so useful. My one horse experience was about twenty years ago and involved the horse bolting, for no reason I could discern (this scared the crap out of me, and wound up getting my leg gashed open on a fence). But the thing is, I'm not afraid of horses, but I am, and was even more so then afraid of heights. I could easily have been gripping with my legs too tight out of fear of falling off.
