Riding Over the Hill
For those of us who will never quit riding horses!
Are you an adult woman who is either new to the horse world or returning to it? Then this site is for you! I created this blog to help women like me who are starting fresh in the equine world and are looking for information, advice, or help. I don’t have all the answers and I am not a horse expert or trainer but I have learned and want to share that information with you.
Here you will find a broad range of subjects of interest to the adult Western rider. Some of the topics covered are horse ownership tips, what’s new in horse products and in the western show world, and the unique challenges we face such as how to overcome riding fears. My dream for this blog is that you will not only find information here that will help you but also find it to be a place to meet and voice opinions on what’s going on in the equestrian industry and also have some fun.

Get Stronger and Become a Better Rider
When I got back into horseback riding, my family use to laugh at me when I said riding was a form of exercise. They visualized that a rider passively sits on the horse like they were sitting in a chair …
