So, ever since I was little I was always interested in horses - more so in being a horse racing jockey. However as a kid I always thought horse riding was for rich people and grew way too tall to be a jockey! I always saw horse riding as a Female Sport and never really gave it any thought until I matured a little !
My real passion has always been in Athletics ( I'm a sprinter) , and I've spent as much time as possible involved in Athletics, and recently it made me wonder if there was any other sport I could find just half the amount of passion I have for Athletics ....I enjoyed Boxing for a while but it had a negative effect on my Athletics training/performance . One good thing is the core strength from Athletics seems handy for horse riding
Anyway, about 6 months ago I decided instead of getting a flash car I would use my spare money to invest in taking up Horse Riding.... one of the best decisions I ever made! A lot of people ask me about it, but I find non Horse Riders just cannot understand it - what do people without a hobby do in their spare time????
Just wondering if there's anyone else out there similar to me? Or any other Athletes that Horse ride too ? Do you not worry about the risk of a bad injury? (In the sense that I don't know of any sprinter to break a bone, but common for the Equine world!)
