AlphaHippie I started riding since grade 6. Quite a few of my family had horses and played Polo . I love the connection and trust a rider builds with his horse.

dr.ar Yeah, that's why I wish I grew up around them. They are so powerful that they intimidate me a bit.

dr.ar I do plan to learn to ride. I actually travel around helping new homesteaders out and am looking for a ranch to volunteer with, so I can learn more things like that.

dr.ar I'm in Nebraska and am a Jack of all Trades. I also recycle for a living and know how to acquire materials for them to build with for free. So, I donate building materials or help them find free or cheap stuff, help them build what they need and learn new things from them from the experience.

AlphaHippie if there's a place closer to you, try taking riding lessons, it's a useful skill to have and you will love the connection. Plus it's a very good experience and exercise.

AlphaHippie Thats an excellent way to start .

How do you help new homesteads ? What state are you in currently?

AlphaHippie thats very kind of you. You are a good human being.
