Well my sport is horse riding, I suppose most of you ppl wouldnt have gone near horses in your life and could quite possible be scared of them... They are pretty scary...

I have been riding since I was 10 and have had 5 horses, Suzie, Beauty, Elly, Alex and Rusty. I have sort of given up competitive riding cos my last horse, Rusty, was a total wanker... And I havent got around to getting another one...

Alex is the best one of the lot, he is living with me for three weeks these holidays because I lease him out to some little girls cos im too big for him and hes too old for me and they have gone on holiday! Most horses only live for about 25 years, here or there, but Alex is 35 and he still goes in competitions and everything, he's quite full of life and I think if he stopped being worked he would get bored and stiff and die. he gets haf-yearly injections of stuff called 'pentazan' and it eases athritis in older horses, but its $100 per needle... Alex is worth it.

My best acheivments have been winning state trials in 2004 on Alex and the schools event, all three trophies!

lol im scared a horse will bite me

[tiso88]

i got bitten by a mini horse at zoodoo once!!! scum >.<

[Clarey]

Oh i forgot to mention all the injurys ive sustained from riding!!! i have broken my thumb, when rusty threw me off at pony club, alex stood on the middle of my foot as he was getting up and smooshed it, some of my other ponies have trown me off then trampled me...but the most speccy was at the tas show jumping and dressage championship at the show grounds, i was riding alex and we were going towards a double jump (two jumps seperated by one horse stride) and it was too big and alex got his strides wrong, i told him he could stop if he didnt want to, but hes such an amazing horse he tried really hard for me!!!.... he hit the first jump and i flew off and hit the second... and the worst thing about that is unless you go off in an ambulance you have to get back on and finish the round...
ive been bitten, knocked over, bashed and stomped on more times that i could count...

the thing i do when i compete is called 'one day eventing' and its made up of three parts, dressage, which is a sequence of moves to show your controll and movent of the horse and your skills etc and its done in a big rectangle of 20m x 60m with letters all around the outside to show you where to go, the letters are all random and i dont know why that is... the next is cross country, where you go out, usually into the bush, and ride along rly rly quickly and jump a series of jumps made out of anything, from natural logs and telegraph poles to bricks, stone walls and even things like polly pipes and road block stuff... you have to do the course in a certain time and get penalties if your too quick, too slow, refuse or miss a jump and if you fall off. (it doesnt rly matter if you fall off and no one sees you, i have done it ) and if you refuse the jump three times you are eliminated and asked to leave the course.
Show jumping is, imo, the harshest portion of one day eventing. Its always a bit of a drag, cos its usually last and all you have to do is remember a certain way of popping over the jumps in a special order.... the jumps get big and scary but its in a totally diffent league to cross country. if you get two refusals or you fall off you are eliminated... and it sucks lol...

Horses are evil animals.My pop had one down at his shack when I'd get up and make breakfast it would stare at me through the window. or it would eat the seat off the ride on lawn mower, or steal dads jumper off the fence and throw it around the paddock, or taunt the dogs with a soccer ball.Crazy animals indeed lol :Poh and not to mention chase the sheep and hold the door open on the chicken shed letting them all out LOL
