Horseback Riding Fit?

Options
Hey y'all, I've been on here a little while, recently started trying to get more involved in the 'Community' side. One of my primary motivations is to lose weight and become more athletic for horseback riding and other outdoorsy things. I have a horse but haven't ridden regularly in a few years and would like to get back to that this year, so I'm looking for friends who also ride so we can help motivate and get ideas from each other!
Add me! :)
(Always open getting to know non-horsey people too, of course!)

    Hello! I just started today ☺️ I tried to find an active horse group in here, but came up short. Getting back in the saddle is my biggest motivator as well 🥰

    I looked too, I really thought there would be a group! Added you though :) What kind of riding are you aiming to do/already do?

    Save a horse, ride a cowboy. :D Just a song detour there. I couldn't help myself.
    Jump right back into the Community, the water is fine. You'll be back in the saddle in no time. :)

    I’ve been horseless for the last 6 months or so, for the first time in my adult life, and am definitely noticing the difference in my fitness. Trying to do something about it while I save for a new pony.
