I have to say, horse riding has to be one of the most fun things ever. It is also one of those recreational activities that is also a sports depending on the circumstances and situations. Riding a horse has always been one my childhood dreams back in the days, and I’m pretty sure it will be the same for many people as well. Horses are cute and amazing animals, having to hop on the back of those beauties and going on a ride is just fun on a whole new level. For me, as far as recreational activities are concerned, horse riding is up there as it something that is great for leisure. As fun as horse riding is, a lot of people tend to forget that it is also a sport which means that there are also some level of physical exertion that goes into it. We all know horse racing as a very popular sports, however, there are other forms of sports using horses like those who perform stunts with horses.
For me, it is just all about hopping on the back of a horse and riding it. Nothing complex. Looking at horse riding from the surface, it looks as easy as climbing the back of a horse and boom, you begin to ride it… horse riding is not as easy as it looks, infact, there is some learning that goes into it before you can ride a horse effectively. I’m sure no one would want to be shown the exit door by a horse… lol… there are few practices and things to pay attention to before climbing the back of a horse and riding it. I love horse riding a lot. I could ride a horse all day without getting tired… that is how amazing and fun it is.
Going out with friends and having a fun horse race is one of the most amazing outdoor experiences you can think of. The good thing about horse riding is that, it is not only fun, but also a great aerobic exercise as well, great cardio. People might look at horse riding as something that isn’t exercise. But I have to say that that isn’t the case… horse riding is physically demanding… even though not at the level of most sports or recreational activity, it is also physically demanding as well. And that is the beauty as you could go out on a fun horse ride and at the same time, having some level of good aerobic exercise and cardio which is great for the body and great for fitness. For me, horse riding is a really fun and amazing recreational activity.
