Horseriding

At the beginning of this school year I started horse riding. I'm actually terrified of horses but somehow I still love the idea of horse riding. So in doing this activity I am hoping to not only expand my confidence but also learn a sport that is not the typical after-school activity. I have lessons every wednesday afternoon with three other girls, all of which go to the same school as I do. And today we had one of these lessons. We've been doing it for a couple of weeks now so we're still all beginners and we're all still getting used to the feel of horse riding. In today's lesson I rode a different horse to the one I usually ride, so I was rather afraid considering this horse was a little bit taller than the other one and a lot more stubborn. If I continue horse riding, I do eventually want to learn how to jump but at the moment I feel that that ability is much too far away and way out of my comfort zone. Overall, I am both really excited and afraid to do horse riding, but so far I seem to enjoy it.
