ACTHA
has had a profound effect on my life.
When
my best friend developed crippling arthritis I was forced to either make new
riding friends or sell my horses and I wasn't ready to give up my horses yet.
It
was during this time that I heard about ACTHA and went to my first
ACTHA ride in the summer of 2010. At the ride I made some wonderful new
horse friends. We traveled all over Louisiana and Mississippi competing
in ACTHA rides.
Next
I started taking lessons to improve my riding skills and my horses' obstacle
skills and we made more friends.
My
horse Scout received his bronze award in the 2012 season. I was so proud
of him. And this year I have started my new horse Diva on her road to her
bronze. In fact we are off to an AOC tomorrow in Texas and I will get to
see all my wonderful Texas friends.
The
best gift of all that ACTHA gave me is that whenever I feel like riding I just
go out and saddle up and work on obstacles. It really has strengthened my
bond with my horses and I can do it with friends or by myself.
Thank
you ACTHA! I will be a loyal member for as long as I can climb into my
saddle.
