I haven't for a year or so but I started riding when I was 5, competing by 10 or 11, mostly Paints. Eventually got into training, breeding etc. I miss it:(



10 Exercises To Make You a Better Rider

Drop a heavy steel object on your foot. Don't pick it up right away. Shout, "Get Off, Stupid! GET OFF!"

Leap out of a moving vehicle and practice "relaxing into the fall." Roll lithely into a ball and spring to your feet.

Learn to grab your checkbook out of your purse and write out a $200 check without even looking down.

Jog long distances carrying a halter and a carrot.

Affix a pair of reins to a moving freight train and practice pulling to a halt. Smile as if you are having fun.

Hone your fibbing skills: " see, hon. moving hay bales is FUN!"

Practice dialing your chiropractor's number with both arms paralyzed to the shoulder and one foot anchoring the lead rope of a frisky horse.

Borrow the US Army's slogan: Be All That You Can Be -- bitten, thrown, kicked, slimed, trampled, frozen...

Lie face down in a puddle of mud in your most expensive riding clothes and repeat to yourself, "This is a learning experience, this is a learning experience, this is..."

THE NUMBER ONE EXERCISE TO BECOME A BETTER EQUESTRIAN: Marry money.

and another (that still makes me laugh)....

You know you're a horse person when...

You dress like a lawyer on weekdays and someone who needs a lawyer on your days off.

You put a gun rack in your pickup truck to carry dressage whips and riding crops.

When your trying to get by a co-worker in a restricted space and instead of saying "excuse me" to him/her, you cluck at them instead.

No one wants to ride in your car because they'll get sweet feed and hay in their socks and purses...that's ok because then you'd have to rearrange all the tack to make room for them, anyway!

Your non-horsy friend gives you a funny look after glancing into the back seat of your car, and you realize he's noticed your whips and spurs.

You say "whoa" to the dog.

You pull change from your pocket at work, and hay falls all over.

You yell at your boyfriend, and the horse's name pops out.

You actually get to a point where flies don't bother you so much. .

You have a terrible fall off your horse, and your only concern is if the horse is okay.

You launder your stable clothes before your work clothes (though sometimes the categories overlap).

Your car is the only one in the company parking lot that has an inch of dust INSIDE and when you open the door, a swarm of flies emerge.

When you coax your horse into the trailer with a carrot, give him a bite, and walk out finishing it yourself.

When you wonder why people stare at you when you walk in to a room after riding

When your dog will canter on the correct lead when running around the yard

When you can't figure out the weird looks you get when talking about breastcollars

You think nothing of flicking the dogs leash to get the dog's attention.

If your horse has an unknown bump or even a tiny scratch, you panic. You on the other hand, could care less that you have no feeling in your right foot, are bleeding profusely, and your arm is broken in 3 places.

You think nothing of telling your horse, "excuse me, pardon me, wait one second, sorry about that, or thank you"

Your nice clothes are the ones without horse hair all over them.

When you happily spend hundreds of dollors on a show for a 95 cent ribbon
