THINGS NOT TO SAY TO A HORSE OWNER
-Riding isn't a sport, the horse does all the work.
-Why do you have so many horses? You can only ride one at a time.
-Doesn't it hurt when you fall off?
-Should you still be riding at your age?
-You paid HOW much?
-When can we come to ride?
-The way you treat that horse, you'd think it was part of your family.
-You have to buy hay? Can't they just eat grass?
-My car/boat/motorcycle just sits in the garage until I need it.
-Imagine how much money you'd have if you didn't have all these horses to feed!
-Eew! Horse poop. How do you walk around here?
-Haven't you outgrown that horse "thing" yet?
-Geez- It's ONLY a horse!

I HATE HATE HATE it when people say, "Riding isn't a sport, the horse does all the work." They're obviously idiots and don't know anything. Urgh, it sickens me. >:[

Horse riding requires: balance, upperbody strength, lowerbody strength, flexibility, confidence, courage, and skill. Plus a lot of money to become really good.

If you'd like to try, I'm sure Chase (my horse) would be happy to let somebody ride him. :]
