Cabalgata (Longgggg Horse Ride)

So a few days after New Year's we decided to go ride horses. The last time I rode a horse it threw me off, ripped a chunk of hair out of my head, and then almost stepped on my head. I think its safe to say I was absolutely scared to get on a horse. They had to convince me, bribe me basically to get on. When I first got on the horse I almost burst into tears because I had no idea what I was doing and it kept moving around.







I got the hang of it (or at least calmed down enough to listen to what everyone was telling me to do). I was doing okay, but I still wouldnt let both my hands go from the reins (this is why I dont have many pictures in the beginning). I got really scared when it started going faster because I felt it would throw me off. Since I didn't want my horse going fast I was way at the end of the group and one of my aunts had to stay with me the whole time (yes I know, I'm a baby). We stopped at a couple of bars so that they could drink.. I got a gatorade :) My uncle ended up getting really drunk and charging his horse at everyone. Then hitting all the horses in the butt so that they would go faster. Yea. So fun.
Actually it was really fun, minus the him getting drunk part. And the scenery was absolutely beautiful.






However from what was supposed to be a 2 hour horse ride came a 5 hour horse ride. Yep. Sore. Very sore.
