That is what I do when I clean the basement! Bad news is since I took part in the 6.50 a case of superstore beer you get far to drunk trying to drink all your beer while cleaning

I wonder what they call experience? Would be nice to go out on our own but I highly doubt we would even be close to call qualified

well unless they changed things....

not scared of the animals, able to mount and dismount with no problems.

They pair you to a horse of your skill so it balances out..it pretty simple.

Mostly common sense, I've seen them have you ride around the barn to see how you interact with the horse and they deciede if you good to go and will tell you which trail you should go on....

AnchorD outfitting.

They took the whole company where my husband worked on a day ride, all made it through, and most had no prior experience riding horses.

Located west of Turner Valley.

And if she likes Heartland, you should find a place near High River to take her riding. That's where it is filmed.

Parts of it are filmed in the High River Area, parts are filmed in Calgary, and I believe the actual ranch is west of Millarville.

Seconded.

It's been quite a few years, but it was always a great place to ride and explore.

And seriously fundmark19 - great idea.

I think I have found a solution. I just found a girl I grew up with who currently is going to university to become a vet and teaches horse riding lessons on the side who is going to do a weekend trip with us for significantly less then what it costs through the big companies.

If this goes well and I get addicted to horse riding I will then start making trips out and explore that ranch and get a membership. Seems like a great idea for a date night rather then just going out for dinner

I still think you need to get her a gift too. Anniversaries 1, 5, 10, 20 and 25 are big deals.
