Hello loves. Its October the 16th, and ITS MY BIRTHDAY IN 9 DAYS!!! 17 YEARS!!! So I'm psyched. Over our last weekend, which was 5 days since it was a Jewish holiday, I finally got my drivers permit!!! Yeah, its a bit late to get that since I'm already almost 17, but i had to fulfill all of my mom's prerequisites. So I am the proud owner of a slip of paper from the DMV that says I can drive. YAY! I'm also a very good driver. The instructor even said so lol. I read an article in a magazine in August about how horseback riders are pre-qualified for driving, since riding a horse in an arena full of other horses is just like driving a car, in terms of forward thinking, watching where you're going and multi-tasking. I looked for the article online to give you a link to check it out, but it is in the august issue of Horse & Rider, so I couldn't access it. Sorry. I'm now proud to say, and very very excited about the fact that I'm a working student(again) at my barn. I used to go there 3 or more days a week last year during the winter to earn my lessons, but had to stop since I couldn't get a ride reliably. But now I can again!! I'm so excited =]

I have to say I'm quite jealous that you horse back ride. Horses are just so big, pretty, powerful, and intelligent. I've only ever riden horses a couple of times. My favorite was in New York right after Christmas. Woops the period is over so I got to go, but I'll finish this comment soon.

Reading my last comment i realize that "horse back ride" is probably not that correct of a term, so I made myself sound like an idiot. That sounds true that a rider would be a better driver. Nikki Coscia rides horses and she is a really good driver. They say that libras are supposed to be bad drivers. I'm a libra, and I don't think I'm that bad of a driver. The truth is with driving it takes experience more than anything else. You have to drive enough to be in situations to learn how to react. Well happy early birthday. =]

Happy birthday and good luck with your driving test. It's very interesting that horseback riding can prepare you so well for driving. Who knew?
