C.

You ask me what sport I do..
I'll say I am an equestrian
You tell me it's not a sport
You tell me it's easy
You tell me it takes no skill
... You tell me we just sit there
You tell me we arent athletes
You tell me it's just a silly hobby

But I ask you...

Have you ever trusted something so unpredictable, something that has a mind of their own, something that can kill with one misstep?
Have you ever fallen from 10 feet up goin 35 mph brushed yourself off and got back in the saddle?
Have you ever ran full speed toward a solid obstacle?
Have you ever jumped something taller than you?
Have you ever performed an intricate dance with an animal thet doesn't speak your own language?
Have you ever galloped around tiny barrel?
Have you ever slide to a halt in 2 secnds?
Have you ever tried a handstand on a moving creature?

So before you underestimate us think to yourself...

Do you understand the delicate bond?
Have you ever precticed 5 hours a day 7 days a week?
Have you ever had a connection with a 1400 pound animal?
Have you ever risked your life for a sport?


Still think it's easy?
