Some riders never really lose the connection.

What started as a quick refresher quickly turned into a trip back to the basics, with practice moving to the grass. But beneath the confusion and laughter was something bigger: the connection riders carry with them no matter how much time has passed.
The mom once rode while pregnant with the very person now teaching her how to ride again.
