[Sportsandrec] {Spam?} Horseback riding

[Naima Leigh]

Hi Robert

I'm the same way. I want to ride like the sighted people, riding free with
the wind blowing through their hair.

I once red of a hand held device that blind people could use to now where
they are going. It had a tone for directing the horse. Have you heard of
that.

I rode horses a little bit when I was younger  but since about mid seventys
I have only bin  on a horses back twice. Once  was in a round pen for about
an hour. The other time was also in a round pen and the horse was led by its
owner. That was OK but not really my idea of  horseback riding. I have been
really wanting to get out and do some riding like a trail ride. I can not
seem to find anyone around here to take me out riding. All of the pay to
ride setups are too far away and too expensive. 

 

I have a cousin in law that has horses but will not let me ride because I am
blind. Go figure. Who knows what gets in some otherwise very intelagent
peoples head and it can not be rooted out. I have never argued the point
with him simply because they are his horses and he has every right to allow
or not allow any one to ride them for any  reason or for no reason at all.
Anyhow I think riding horses is a great activity for the blind as well as
the sighted.
