Equestrian Tag | 5 Questions

I've wanted to do a tag like this for a while on YouTube but haven't got round to filming it so I thought I'd do a blog post instead. I'm sure there are similar tags around but here is my own version.

1. Do you own/loan a horse/s ?
Yes I own 3 horses and 2 ponies

2. How long have you been riding ?
I've been riding 17 years, my entire life. I first sat on my pony James at 5 days old and began actually riding in a basket saddle as soon as I could sit up on my own!

3. Do you compete & when was your first competition ?
I do but not as much as I would like to. I only do occasional local shows at the moment due to being so busy and  non of the horses are fit at the minute. I'm hoping to start show jumping again later this summer.

My first competition was a local show when I was 2 years old. Me and James entered three classes on the lead rein with my mum and got placed first in all three! James did kick the judge when he tried to put the sash on him though causing me to nearly fall off (naughty pony).

4. What's your favourite thing about riding ?
I love the connection between horse and rider. The complete dependence on the horse and the trust both horse and rider must have in each other. If I'm honest riding is like flying to me, its magical and is my escape from the real world.

5. What's your funniest horse moment ?
There are lots! But my personal favourite has to be when me and Taffy accidentally jumped over my trainer as she was putting the jump up! I'd already set towards it when she decided to make it higher and well there was no stopping Taffy so we merrily sailed over the top of her head! She wasn't too pleased!

hope you enjoyed,
