Horse Riding

Just thought I’d post a topic on horse riding seeing as all you others have done yours on football. Horse riding is a brilliant sport. I mainly do eventing (that’s showjumping, cross country and dressage), but I also hack a lot and do mounetd games at Xmas. Pippa Funnel, now isn’t she an inspiration to every horse rider, winning her first Badminton in 2002 then going on to win it again in 2003 and cracking the Rolex Grandslam which everyone thought was impossible to achieve! My other equestrian role model has got to be Monty Roberts, the world famous American who trains and cures horses that have been traumatised and have general behavioural problems (a horse whisperer if you like). He was the man who invented “Join-Up” which has helped so many horsey people to make the world a better place to live for their damaged horses and I respect him a lot. I have been riding since I was 4 years old and I’m still going strong and getting better each time I ride. Horses have changed my life a lot and I don’t know what I would do if i was unable to ever ride again. I plan to have a career in the equine world of work too! So lots of good things to look forward to. Thanks for reading! Are you a horse nut too? Would love to hear from you!
