Horse Riding!

No, I haven’t got a horse of my own but a friend of mine does, in fact did you know that it’s actually a pony. I have rode my uncles horses before but I only walked. Yesterday I went to my friend house she said we could ride her pony so I said ok why not. Then she suggested a trot which is a little bit slower that a run, that was super fun but a bit scary too. Once I got the hang of trotting we decided to start doing some posting which doesn’t come to naturally because each horse has a different rhythm of stepping. It took a while to get the hang of but when I did we made a row of pipes and then trotted over them, that wasn’t the best because it was the same as trotting. So we stepped it up and put a pole on top of some rocks that was the same as trotting too. Then we got some big blue barrels that were cut in half and then we put a pole across them so that the horse would actually jump. There were so many things I had to remember but once I finally made the jump I felt so good, then I rode the horse back and tried the jump again we made it but the horse did knock the jump, that was ok though we were only practicing. I would recommend giving horse riding a go because even if your scared you will really enjoy yourself. Maybe try horse riding!!
