Damn i hate injuries. Ive never really been into sport until i took up dance and gymnastics cos' I'm like insanely flexible (legs behind head etc).

I've never ridden a horse properly. What kind of things do you do with horses?

Horses?

I do eventing, but I'm more into Show Jumping than dressage.

Dressage is basically making your horse parade around an arena to a test you've memorised.

Showjumping is jumping in an arena

and Cross Country is where there's a big open course with obstacles like ditches, logs and hedges that you have to jump.

Woah what you jump things? but horses are gigantor! Have you ever fallen off? How high are the hedges?

Yeah from your description of dressage i think i much prefer cross country. I'm youtubing it right now.

haha of course i've fallen off a horse.. many times. You just have to get back on again!

My horse is 14.2 hands... he's very small for me, so I have to sell him soon But I jump him grade 3, which means the jumps are 75cm high and 75cm wide I've jumped him up to 90cm though

I used to skate and ollieing down an eigh stair was all badass but in reality you only had to ollie like 60cm in the air to clear at a moderate pace. and your jumping 90cm on like this huge animal and if you fall you have nothing... I think ill stick with dance but it does sound fun and expensive.

I used to play Ice hockey in Korea, and Speed skating and Speen Roller Blading it was pretty cool. Now I cant find any Ice rinks in Gold COast
