Many people think anyone could get on a horse, ride, and get off, with no thought at all. But no! When you ride a horse you are working with a 1,100 pound animal! They have a mind of their own, are 10 times your size, and riding them can be deadly. You could fall off while galloping at 55 mph! You could fall off while soaring over a 8 foot high jump! Even if you don't die, you could get injured. A horse could bite, kick, or throw you off at any time. It's not like you're playing with a ball! That's why a bond between horse + owner is really special. Not everyone gets to experience it! Horse-riding IS a sport. I believe it! WE ARE EQUESTRIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Balls you can CONTROL. Horses, you canNOT.
All bonds are built on trust. Without it, you have nothing. ~ Huskey
