Valverde Horse Riding!

So firstly, peyton hillis is not playing today because he has the flu..not a happy camper.  Anywho, on Saturday we went out into the countryside and rode horses!  It was alot of fun, these horses were pretty freakin big too.  All 30 of us or so had our own horse, we all mounted, and off we went.

These horses were pretty much on auto-pilot, we didn't have to do much.

The sun was out, not a cloud in the sky, as is usual in Salamanca.  We literally have had one day of mediocre weather, and every other day has been blue skies and between 70-80 degrees.  The countryside was nice, nothing to really freak out about, but just a nice leisurely horseback ride on a Saturday afternoon.

Nothing special, just nice and relaxing

My horse's name was Augustine, and he was a bit temperamental to start, but he eased up and was pretty mellow, and even trotted a few times when I kicked him in the side a bit.

"Augus" was his nickname

I hadn't ever ridden a horse as an adult up until now, but I would definitely do it again and I can totally see how people fall in love with horses, because they are cool creatures.  Classes are going well, the workload isn't killing me, going to watch some football after dinner tonight!
