I use to show jump and wow what thrill that was flying over jump with huge animal under you. I loved the thrill of it ! it was very addicting ! You walk course and plan it out how many stides it take horse to reach jump and you try ride him to that and hope like hell he dosnt slam on breaks with you. Most good horses would protect you at all cost they even step high when you fall as not to step on you then look you on ground as if to say did i do that ! Engish riding and your out fits you wear makes you feel important. I miss everything about it !
