I'd like to add that you should also take some basic lessons. Find a trainer 
who can work on helping you with balance, and how to read the horse and work 
through how to keep the horse and you safe and comfortable on the trail.

A horse is not a motorcycle. They have their own ideas about how to do 
things and no two horses are exctly alike.

I offer an 8 week program for trailriders that covers how to stay on, how to 
use aids to communicate with the horse, and how to spot and deal with afety 
issues. Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near San Diego. :-)

But if you are serious about using horses I'm sure you will be able to find 
someone who can do this almost anywhere.

I contacted a horseman friend of mine who states it would be cost prohibitive due to the usual $150/day/animal rental fee.

are we there yet
