Getting really tired of the naysayers who tell me that riding is not a sport. I am not one to tout my accomplishments but I was a tri-varsity athlete all through junior high and high school and I went on to row at a varsity level in college while training for the national team until I got injured. Riding has, and continues to, challenge me on a physical, mental and spiritual level that I have never before experienced. I have conquered my fears, worked through my insecurities, faced my demons and found strength when I thought that I had none. I have learned to be kind, to be patient (OK I’m still working on that one), to give and to take equally (OK still struggling with that one too), to enjoy the moment, to have faith and to trust while finding my balance and peace on the backs of the best teammates I have ever had (no disrespect to my human counterparts). So for all of you who still don’t believe, watch the video below and then walk (trot, canter or gallop) a mile in my saddle…
