Howdy, y’all! Saddle up for a wild ride through the mountains of relationship drama! ️ I’m a professional horse rider who planned the trip of a lifetime – 10 days of horseback riding through rugged terrain. But there’s a catch… I started dating a city slicker with more health issues than a hypochondriac at a hospital. He’s got a bum knee, a sensitive stomach, and an aversion to plain water. When I told him about my epic adventure, he was more excited than a kid on Christmas morning! But can this cowboy wannabe handle the ride? Giddy up, let’s find out!

Well, folks, it looks like we’ve got ourselves a real pickle here. My boyfriend’s got more health issues than a sickly calf at a rodeo, but he’s rarin’ to go on this 10-day horseback adventure! I’m worried he’ll be saddle sore, starvin’ like a vegan at a steakhouse, and cripplin’ me with his medical needs. I had to put my boot down and tell him to stay home on this one. He’s madder than a wet hen, but I reckon I gotta do what’s best for me and my trusty steed. Let’s see what the internet wranglers have to say about this wild west showdown!
