The other Day i was reading a post called 'Because of a horse' on The Equine Experience Blog and thought that it was something that I would do because over the years I have learnt a lot from different horses, and I could probably say that without my riding I would not be the same person that I am now and I thank every single horse that I have rode even those that at times I've hated riding. So here goes these are the things that I have learnt 'Because of a horse'
- Because of a horse I've broke more bones than I would have and damaged more ligaments, but the pain has been eased by just being able to groom or stroke these beautiful creatures even when I couldn't ride.
- Because of a horse, I have more bookmarks than I can count on firefox and the majority of them are to do with anything horse related.
- Because of a horse, I have improved my balance and to a certain point worked through the pain barrier of my stomach and gone from not being able to do any sports to riding every weekend, and become more active.
- Because of a horse, I can say that I have a team mate that is so much bigger and more powerful than me but I know that with the right riding we can work as a team and NOT two separate objects.
- Because of a horse, I know that when I get nervous other people will around me but most importantly that the horse who trusts me will get nervous too.
- Because of a horse, I know what it's like to truly love something else whether it be Gatsby or Jake.
- Because of a horse, I've learnt that when I am riding not to give in to my problems but to be patient and persist and by doing so I can over come problems that at one point where huge to me.
- Because of a horse, I've learnt what it feels like to repeatedly hit the floor when he gets nervous and I panick.
- Because of a horse, I know that they put trust in us and we trust them and without that bond you will never get the true magical feeling of riding.
- Because of a horse, I have more confidence than I used to.
- But most importantly Because of a horse, I have found a hobby i love more than anything, a sport I could spend hours working to improve, I have a best friend in an animal that is 10x my size, but most of all I have had endless hours of fun and a horse I can honestly say I trust my life with.
