Hey, I'd drive an hour to ride! I've driven 4 hours for a weekend get away that included about 8 hours of riding over the weekend.

I'm one of those desperate horse lovers without a horse! Hey, I even rode in the snow in Germany! Now the rain, well, we did have a covered area for the rain. But since I've ridden in a river, I suppose I could ride in the rain.

But I'm thinking a river in the summer and the rain in the fall are 2 totally different experiences. :killingme
