Ever since I started college, I have missed horseback riding. I had to give it up when I couldn't balence it with my studies in undergrad (and the costs of riding and college were a bit much). For the four years that I have been in Wisconsin I have heard about the Hoofers Riding Club, but have never gone to one of their meetings until today. There were many more people interested and involved than I ever thought and it does more than I thought it did with talks about different aspects of riding and horse care. I hope to be able to attend some of their talks this sesson, but after the qual hopefully I can work in a lesson or two. They have a great program to let you work back some of the money you put into the payments which should make the fees more affordable. It looks to be a definate possiblility in the near future!!
