I love horses. I didn't grow up with them, but people will ask me if I did. Of course my response is yes. Heaven forbid anyone thinks I would attempt to ride such large animals without some experience. Sometimes I wonder if the people asking me about my past experience have actually seen me ride and know the truth. One lesson I have learned in life is to act like you know what you're doing even if you don't. Sometimes I can sell it, but most of the time I look like a fool. This leads me to the next thing I've learned about life: the older I get, the less I care about what people think. This philosophy about life has caused me to enjoy it more. A couple of weeks ago, some friends and I went on an overnight horse trip near Huntington, Utah. The ride was to Virgin Spring Canyon in the San Rafael River Gorge. On a Friday morning, we packed up the trucks and loaded the horses into our trailers. This is an experience in itself....
