Ride a draft horse.
It makes your butt
look smaller.

Meet Kong. He is a Percheron draft horse from France. He was born in 2011, 18 hands high and 1800 pounds...a gentle giant! They had him out of his stall for photo opportunities and for giving him some love. Sweet boy...I love horses!
Horses and riding was one of my first loves. My mother told me I went on my first trail ride at age 3 with my brother who was 12 years old. I rode horses and took lessons from there on out. The best birthday present I ever got was a retired polo pony ( a thoroughbred mare) for my 13th birthday. I was perfectly content to be dropped off at the barn in the morning and not go home until dark. I competed in Equitation and Hunters & Jumpers competitions. As an older teen, I gave up travel and trips because I didn’t trust anyone to care for my horse in my absence. It was a strong bond that was hard to give up in my mid-twenties.
