That is the question I always ask myself. Is it because I am good a it or because of what I learn every single day without exceptions. Maybe it is because of all the friends I make that at the end of the day, they are my real friends. There is something that has always captivated me about equitation, and that is the ability to learn something different every single day without expecting it and from the most random people. You are never done with the topic not nearly done with it, in fact there is a huge reason to not be in the edge of finishing and that is horses. They are animals and all of them are different there is not two horses alike and that is what makes equitation so hard. Something I really hate is when people who haven’t even tried to get on a horse say it is easy and that the horse does all the work. Well for those people there are some news first of all horses wouldn’t do any work without us telling them to do it. And believe me, it is hard to tell them what to do because even though they are intelligent animals they still are animals and they need to learn someway. I bet if one of that people who say that the horse does all the work, they wouldn’t last five minutes on top of that saddle, and I love to proof people wrong. Now I just wanted to state that so let’s get back to the good thing the things I like about this sport.  The friends, every single day I meet new people, people who are willing to be good friends and support you in good or bad situations. You get to know people all around the world and at the end you know you will have someone to support you all around the world.

There is one simple reason to the creation of this blog, the reason is because it is an English assignment, and to be honest if I wouldn’t had this assignment the idea of creating a blog would of never cross my thoughts. The topic I chose for my blog is simply my passion, what I do everyday and love doing, it is simply what I was born around and what I’m growing around, It is just what I love doing, what caused me to have most of my friends and what I enjoy the most in my life. Also, because I wanted to discuss about several aspects of my passion with different people than the ones I see everyday and get different point of views. I also wanted to get to know more people through this site, talking about what I love. By this point it is very probable that you have an idea of what my passion is, not because of what I have written previously, but because of the name of my blog. Yes, my passion is horses. It may sound like a cliché but because of the way I write about you should see how seriously I take it. I utterly adore horses and everything that has to do with them. What I practice the most is show jumping, but I also practice dressage and western riding sometimes. I like to think of English riding more as a sport and western riding as “comfort riding”, to release stress caused by English riding and other activities such as school. The riding style I prefer or like better is English riding, specifically show jumping, what I like the most about this certain sport is the adrenaline it produces, there is no chance for fear, everything happens so fast. You have to be in control of two things: the first thing is your body, your position over the saddle and the horse, and you mind, you can’t be scared and you need to fix your mind in your objectives, you have to concentrate because this is a very dangerous sport. Once you dominate the aspect of your body you need to focus on your horse try to figure out his/her character because you don’t only depend on yourself you depend on an animal, which you can’t control completely because even though they are very intelligent creatures they are animals and they can use that intelligence against you . horseback riding is a very difficult sport and you have to have the talent inside yourself, practice does help but if you don’t have the talent it is going to probably be impossible in higher levels of the sport. I would like to read the way people think about what I wrote, there point of view, if they agree or if they don’t, please respond to this entry!!
