[QUOTE="oknavy, post: 1366083, member: 5713"] Taking the family for a few guided rides is a good start. If you've still got the itch, explore leasing. Some horse owners will lease their horses for weekday or weekend riding. Keeps the horse exercised, and also provides some income to the owner, especially if they don't have time to ride the horse. The owner usually provides the board and feed, and the person leasing is simply paying a fair share of those costs. The advantage of leasing is it allows you to get up close and personal with the rest of the story; grooming, mucking stalls, feeding, watering, cleaning hooves, etc.. If you discover your family isn't really enjoying the experience, you can get out relatively easily. There are horse trails at Duncan Lake, and plenty of horses and owners there on weekends. Head out there and start asking questions. [/QUOTE]
