My interest in life is English style horseback riding. It’s a sport not many can do. It takes pure skill and balance. You must not be afraid of falling off and being around these dangerous, unpredictable animals. Every day I go riding it could be my last. This sport is dead serious with no fooling around. If you even do anything sudden and stupid you could spook the horse which is not a good thing at all. I have fallen off a horse before about three times. Now I have one hand I will never have the same again. So why do I keep riding? Because it is my pleasure in life. Being on a horse is such a magical feeling with the wind in my face. You feel powerful and in charge because, you control the horse. It has been my interest for as long as I can remember. It is a sport I will keep doing until I die or I’m too ill to ride again. Horseback riding really is awesome!
