It’s a Horse, Of Course…

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

While I’m not one to regularly watch the Olympics, I would not be averse to watching any of their Equestrian events. Any of the Hunter/Jumper type events are always successful in getting my heart rate beating faster! If you’ve never cleared a bale of hay, astride your favorite horse, you haven’t lived!

I was riding horses before I left diapers, beginning as only a chubby little passenger. By the time I was 18, I could barrel race, jump and vault off a horses back! My spine is the truthteller, of how hard I rode and played upon the back of those enormous creatures. Spinal surgery in my mid 20’s ended my days of wild adventures. I now placate myself with watching others do what I too, once did! It’s enough, for me, to keep the memories of those riding days fresh in my mind.

I’ve enjoyed watching some of the ice skating, and some of the other winter sporting events, but not enough to write home about!

Here, have a cookie…
