This is a picture of 'Old Mac', Carol Jensen and myself in 1945. Some days they let me ride Old Sarge who was gentle & swayback enough to ride by myself. The note on the back of this picture as sent to my dad in the Navy says " Dan has an armband on as a member of the "Junior Commandos" - whatever that meant.
My horseback riding days came to an end on the day we rode the horses through someones beautiful flower patch. It was fun while it lasted. In 1958 l tried to ride while on my honeymoon, but the horse wanted to bite my leg rather than walk....so that was the end again to my riding career. It IS on my 'bucket list' of things to do.
