Did you ever ride a horse?

How does it feel like to ride a horse?     

I really enjoyed this experience that a friend of mine provided for me. I sat on a horse when I was younger but I did not ride it. Perhaps that why I was not totally scared when I went to ride this horse with support. Hopefully one day I will ride a horse on my own😁 

To ride the horse I was instructed and guided. I stood on a high stand/wooden block and then climb onto the kind and beautiful Wilma.  She was 24 years old. She was gentle and very friendly. 

She listened well and followed instructions. I also listened and followed instructions such as when Wilma walked down the hill  I would lean back and vice verse. I learned how to make Wilma turn right and left. Also, to make her go and stop when I wanted her to do.

After riding Wilma and arriving safety, I went to visit the place. I got to see other horses but this one specially really touched me. He/she lost eye sight on one eye. This horse was so calm, friendly and approachable. When touching this horse I felt peace.

This experience was fascinating and something that I did for my own sake. I felt so happy as I love doing things that make me happy and when there is an opportunity I take it because I know how the good experience can make me feel and I like that feeling.

I wonder what kind of things people do for their own sake. Things that makes them happy and fill their soul with positive energy. I am talking about those things that nobody else can do for you. Only you can do them for your own mental health and wellbeing. What are your hobbies and how important are they for your wellbeing?
