If the bike had attitude, weighed 1,100 pounds, startled at sudden movements and loud noises, then
YES! -- Riding for the first time every spring
would be just like climbing back on that bike.
It’s a blast, isn’t it?
Every spring, we hop back in the saddle and head into the Perfect Storm of fresh horse, unfit body, and a greater public who hasn’t seen a horse on the road since…well, sometime before deer season!
A doctor once told me he saw the most motorcycle-related injuries on that first warm day of spring. I bet the same could be said for equine-related injuries!
My first ride was relatively uneventful. But even with my calm and collected horse, we needed to revisit those obstacles (traffic, flags, dogs, ATVs, etc.) and learn again that we’d live through them.
