One of the worst days of my life was that first time a friend of mine took me to the stables where her family kept their horses (which was the first time I'd ever been around them) and before I could even *see* the barn I started sneezing. Not sniffling, but big, violent, heart- stopping sneezes. We had to turn around and go home.
Now that I'm older, I suppose I could take pills (or worse, shots!) for this allergy, but I'm told horseback riding is kind of dirty and smelly, so I think I'll just continue to admire them from afar. I would, however, love to know somebody in the horsey set. Wearing a big hat and sipping a mint julep trackside would be really fun.
