Equestrian!
It doesn't matter what else I'm doing at the time; if I come across show-jumping on TV, I cannot turn away. It's so magnificently gorgeous. The first time I ever went to a bar that had a television, in fact (on a date, no less), they were showing it, and I was transfixed. Heck, I'm typing this without even looking at the computer. Wow, those horses are something else.
*sigh*
It's mesmerizing.
When I think about it, it's actually been about six years since I last went riding. That long! How funny is it that the one sport I've ever REALLY been interested in, at home with, and pretty good at, is out of my league on so many levels. Expense, space, expense, room, expense, time, expense...
I'm watching these riders and I can remember all the things I loved so much and miss about being around horses. Not just riding them, but grooming them, watching them, talking to them, smelling them, playing with them, getting to know them, and on and on and on and on....
Someday. I'll get to ride again. I promise me.
HOLY COW! One rider lost his reins halfway through and went on to make a clear round! *eyes bugging out with a huuuuuge goofy grin*
