The random stuff from X thread
My daughter rides equestrian and the girls that she babysits also ride equestrian. Every time my daughter watches them she comes back exhausted because this is what they make her do for 3-4 hours. They will set up a makeshift courses in the back yard (or inside if it is raining). I am glad to hear that these kids are getting some exercise.
Now having said that, I have seen an awful lot of videos of adults engaging in this activity. The troubling part is the unhealthy relationship that some of these people show for their "horses". I am not judging. If a baseball player can have a favorite bat I guess a 34 yr old can have a favorite stick-horse.
