(For a friend)

You ask me what sport I do. I'll say Equestrian. You tell me: it's not a sport. You tell me: it's easy. You tell me it takes no skill. You tell me: we just sit there. You tell me:we aren't athletes. You tell me: it's just a silly hobby. But I ask you: have you ever trusted something so unpredictable who, with one misstep can kill us? Have you ever fallen from 10feet up,going 35mph, brushed yourself off and kept going??? Have you ever raced full speed towards a solid obstacle? Have you ever jumped something that's taller than you? So before you underestimate us, think to yourself; do you understand the true bond required? Have you ever had a team mate, ten times your size? Ask yourself that, don't judge us. Repost if you are a proud horse rider. 

I'll buy older horses you don't want and care for them until they pass. Also just buy horses you don't want. I have a limit for how much Equus I'm willing to spend on a horse. If I have the money, I will pay for horses up to 5,000. But I typically aim for 1,000 to 2,500.
