NaBloPoMo Day 10 - How your family/friends feel about your riding

The word you're looking for here is "politely mystified."

My parents aren't sure exactly what happened.  They've been willing to humor it, to a point, but it's not their thing and they generally don't 'get it.'

Willing to man the camera and the cookie bag, but that's about it.

My lovely husband doesn't entirely get it either, and - thanks to the ex-wife of his boss - is convinced that horses are so fragile that they can and will kill themselves by walking across a pasture.  But he'll humor me and come along to the barn now and then.  :)
