Any horse people?
Hello my name is Sherrie and I have a quarter horse. I bought him when he was a year old hoping to lose enough weight to ride him. Well 10 yrs later i have just lost enough to start riding him and any other horse i can. I have sat back for years wanting to ride but weighing to much and watched my sister ride him. It feels so wonderfull to be back in the saddle riding again I LOVE IT.
Hello,
I too love horses. Since having WLS I am more confident when I ride I no longer feel like a sack of potatoes bouncing around, yea! I have 4 horses, 1 that is 33 and is still doing fine, although I don't ride him any more because I can feel his creeky bones rubbing against each other on his back when I ride him bare back...... it still makes me feel like I might be hurting him. I have a gelding that is about 10, he has such an attitude that I will probably sell him because I just don't have the time to fight with him everytime I get on him. My daughter's barrel horse is with us still and he is about 9 yrs old (he was mine but too much power and speed for me and my 54 year old body), then I have a 4 year old and he too is registered and was off the track. I call him spit because I don't like his registered name and he just loves me. I would like to get back to doing barrels but I feel like I'm too old and don't have enough confidence in myself.. Yea, I love horses and horse people.

Hi everyone!
I am an eventer from Chicago. I have a monster of a 17h Holsteiner and older paint gelding. Rode hunter/jumpers for years, then stopped riding when I had kids and got back into in about 9 years ago. We are doing primarily eventing now. Right now, my show schedule is on hold pending my surgery on May 11th. How long did it take you all to get back to riding after your surgery?

Hi everyone! My surgery is 6/16/09 and I can't wait to be back in the saddle. I used to ride endurance, but ain't no way I can ask my girl to carry my fat butt around right now. I am so uncoordinated up there. So how long after a lab RnY before I am riding again?

While the weight loss is easier with surgery, the lifestyle is harder.
