An opportunity to try something new can be a little scary depending what it is, but also so much fun. I grew up around horses and used to ride competitively when I was in high school. My younger daughter has also been a competitive rider over the past several years. It has been a lot of fun to now be the "horse show mom", but it also made me want to ride again. I was able to hop on the horse we leased on occasion which was great, and I remembered enough to feel comfortable even though it has been many years since my riding days.
My daughter's trainer set up this amazing experience for the show team and even this horse show mom was able to participate. We did a polo clinic at a nearby facility, and we were then able to watch a match afterward. It was a beautiful day, and we had so much fun. Even as a rider in the past, this was a very different type of riding and the addition of the polo mallet and ball was quite a challenge. It was a very cool thing to try, and I would love to do it again. The best part was being able to take something my daughter and I had in common and then try something new related to this. We enjoyed our first time polo experience together!🐴
