I had no close, long term female friends until I started going to endurance and competitive trail horseback riding competitions. Even in law school, I just wasn't like the other women. As it turns out, though, women who do distance riding of one form or another are SO MUCH like me! We talk about saddle fit, whether leather or biothane is best, which chain saw we like best for trail clearing, which automatic waterer is best, etc. Sometimes all it takes is finding the RIGHT kind of women to hang out with.
