Horseback Riding

Dreams do come true. As I was growing up I was obsessed with horses. I would rid at stables as much as my parents would let me. However, life evolved and I had a family to raise. After my last child left for the USAF my dream came true and I bought a horse. In the summer I have a group of friends that I travel with to different Wisconsin and Illinois Equine Parks and ride our horses. As the experts say horse therapy at its best.
