My favorite hobby is horseback riding.
Horseback riding - While living in New Mexico, I owned 3 horses, participated in Playday Rodeos, helped children who were afraid of horses to get over their fears, and rode trails with groups of friends.
I am also very active in my local church, helping where I can.
