Thank you @bookswithshun for the cool read! 🥰

QOTD: Have you ever ridden a horse? I grew with some field horses, so we learned Pat Parelli's gentling method and would let them walk around with us on their backs - mostly bareback, or with the bareback saddle pad, and very occasionally a saddle. I haven't ridden since... college?? It's been a minute!
