Heart pounding, legs trembling — but I stayed on. 🐎💥 ⠀ My first time riding a horse was on a beach in Essaouira, Morocco 🇲🇦 ⠀ Just sitting on it was terrifying — every move made me feel like I’d fall. Maybe it was the aftermath of my ACL surgery; mentally, I just couldn’t trust my body or connect with the horse’s rhythm. ⠀ Huge shoutout to the patient horse owner cheval__essaouira who stayed calm with me through all my nerves. Because of him, I got this incredible moment captured — the horse REARING UP 180 degrees, and me still holding on tight. Then we galloped along the shore, wind and waves rushing past 🌊 ⠀ What felt impossible turned into one of my most unforgettable adventures. Thank you cheval__essaouira for dealing with me 🤣 ⠀ #morocco #horse #maroc #hoursepower #moroccotravel #essaouriamorocco #essaouira #essaouira🇲🇦 #hourseriding #rearinghorse #rearing #hourses
