Stirrup

I have been horseback riding for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was little, these large, majestic animals fascinated me. It felt so exhilerating to be on top of a horse, riding around. However, horses are animals. And animals are unpredictable. I have fallen off multiple times, many without full reassurance that everything would be ok if I got back on. It is in these times when my belief comes to life. I believe in never giving up. It is 2010 and my second horse show. I am sitting on…

This technical advantage allowed the Mongol archers to turn their upper body, and shoot in all directions, including backwards (Mongol Military Tactics and Organization).

fall should have scared me from riding a horse again, however it ended up having the opposite effect.

Ten years later, as I put my foot in the stirrup and swing myself onto the saddle, I am reminded of the splendor of this sport that is the bond…

I had always been around horses growing up. I learned how to ride horses at a very young age. However, all the horses I rode were always well trained. Therefore, riding an untamed horse was something completely new to me. I knew when I had purchased Mystic she was untamed and I was aware of all the risk that came with an untamed horse, but I purchased her anyways.

Also, concrete was cost-effective as it could be formed by a…
