Why I love horseback riding

I’ve started this blog without telling why horse riding has become my new passion. I still remember my over-protective mother screaming like crazy and running after me all around the house, when she found out that I had started horseback riding lessons -that’s why she found out 3 weeks late. I defended my decision by saying why this activity is so important to me. Here’s why:

• Horseback riding is my therapy, psychologically and physically.
• I practice my concentration skills and balance when I’m on horseback.
• I have made new friends.
• It’s a new way to discover the world.
• It’s a sport for all ages. Very conforting when thirties are at your doorstep.
• Taming such a big animal sharpens your mind, strengthens your body and boosts your confidence.
• I’ve had enough of tennis, volleyball, football, basketball and gym. Oh, and hanging out at cafes and taverns.
• When I discovered horseback riding I had been bored to death. This activity gave my life a new interest, other than reading and working.
• Because nothing is compared to a cute long facey preying for the treats you’ve got in your hand! And because nothing is compared to a short pony running here and there happy to see you again!
