Get ready to feel it! Leave the horse in the pasture/barn for this episode. Today we are going to get our bodies ready for a ride.  Nice and loosey-goosey. Your calves, your hips, your ankles, your knees, your hamstrings and your quads. Everything will be warmed up and limber. You will need a wall, a chair, and a 3-rail fence...
