Went to ride my cousin’s horse Kelly today! She’s gorgeous, an Irish Sport Horse 16.3ish fleabitten grey mare. Apparently she used to event CCI*** internationally, but as she’s a bit older now she’s cooled off.
So basically this was completely unplanned-after Easter lunch (having had a couple of glasses of red) my cousin had to go and sort the horse so I said I’d go and we went and then I ended up riding. It was really nice, but she is MASSIVE compared to what I’m used to! The biggest I’ve ridden in about 3 years is 15.2..lol. This was like riding a ladder, plus she’s narrow as well. Lovely to ride though, but weird stride in walk. Beautiful smooth canter though, loved it!
My mum said tonight that horseriding wasn’t really exercise.
My face when… -.- does anyone have that table with calories different riding activities burn? Mustttt prove her wrong ;)
