First time riding in about a month! ah!

wow this if my first entry! where do i begin!? well its recently been snowing here over the past month or so and the snow has cleared and we have been left with this awful ice! its horrible! so we havent been able to go out riding at all in about a month. As the snow and ice is cleared from the feilds, im thinking its about time to saddle up and head out. Only thing is though, i have a 16hh throroughbred who hasnt been out in a month, and is veerrrrrry fast! and can be a brat when wanted! and plus shes a mare! This should be fun! I love the horse to death, but i dread going on her when i see how excited she gets! i need to get my courage back up again after my bad fall off my old horse :(. im sure ill get their. and i have the perfect horse :) love you chlo.
oh well. wish me luck!
