Thought I'd post an update.
On Valentine's day I arranged for a double lesson. Partially for her, and also to prep me for part two. Since I hadn't been on a horse since the 80's, I thought a refresher would help, plus I needed to see if riding a horse would set off my back issues. Luckily it didn't.
Part two - we just got back from a trip to Hawaii. I booked a ride for my wife and I, and my brother and his wife. We went to the Gunstock ranch on the north shore of Oahu. I highly recommend the place. They take you around the ranch, an old sugar cane plantation. They take you up to the top of a hill where you can see out all the way to the ocean, great view.
When we were almost back to the stable, we had to stop while one of the guides opened a gate. My sister-in-law's horse jumped out of line, I think he was in a hurry to get back. My wife's horse followed him, and when he stopped suddenly, my wife's horse bit him in the butt. This caused him to buck a little bit, and my sister-in-law panicked. He didn't run off though, he just froze and refused to get back in line. The guide ended up putting them in the back of the line, and the drama was over. I needled my wife a bit about being unable to control her horse.
We might plan other rides on other vacations.
