If you think horseback riding isn't a sport.. Read this, and get back to me. (:


"In my sport, we don't have breaks or timeouts, there's no off season and no one sits out on the bench. We don't postpone because of weather and we don't quit on account of injury. I don't ever talk to my teammate but we communicate without words. We don't practice 5 hours a week, more like 5 hours a day, 6 days a week. All my sport really is, is galloping full speed, finding distances, swapping leads, counting strides, spinning, doing the required pattern EXACTLY how it is written, and looking good doing it. If you think that running, jumping, shooting, throwing a ball, or anything else is more difficult than sitting on an animal that weighs 10 times as much as you with a mind of its own... while riding full speed towards a solid stationary object that stands taller than you do is harder? Prove it to me. I dare you to get on my horse and do what I do. We're dedicated and gutsy. We fall, and get right back up there and do it until it's right."
