Horse Riding


Since I was little, practised many kinds of sport and I also learned different kinds of music instruments but with the time I gave everything up out of different reasons.
The only hobby I didn't give up is horse riding.
I started to practising horse riding when I was 6 years old because at that time my sister went to Scotland for a year and I was very sad about it. So my mother was looking for something to distract me. Inasmuch my sister practised horse riding too so it was obvious for my mother that I could practise it too, especially as I really loved all kinds of animals.
So in the last 10 years I was practising horse riding at many different places because I always changed the riding school after some time. Then 3 months before I left for Quebec I got to know a woman who had a horse and she told me I could ride it once if I want. When I first saw the horse, I instantly knew that it was the perfect horse for me. Luckily the horse, which was normally very particular and didn't like so many people, liked me too and so I could ride it 3 times a week because the owner didn't have the time to ride it every day.
So now I have a (nearly own) horse and she is great. She is a trotter whole blood which means that she is small but very agile and quick. She is also the best educated horse I have ever seen because she reacts to my voice very well and she is always attentive to me.
I am a bit sad that now I can't see her for a long time but I will be happy when I come back and see her again.
The horse on the picture is not her but I don't have her pictures on my laptop but this horse looks exactly like mine.

  1. That' really cool!
    I never tried horse riding before but I want to to do someday. You told me that in spring, you go to the cherry tree with your horse and you still ride on her and pluck the cherries from the tree. I can imagine, that must be beautiful!

  2. Yes, it is really beautiful if you can go out with your horse and make a tour and after this you there is an alley where there are many cherry and apple trees and each season I can pick other fruits. This is what I like about horse riding: it connects me with the nature!
