SummarySummaryI’ve been riding for 6 yearsI enjoy riding both English and Western
stylesSome don’t give riding enough credit
It’s a very good workout It tones every bit of your leg and abdominal
muscles It takes just as much mental skill as it does
physical skill In order to ride decently, horse and rider must
trust and respect each other
