    Thank you for sharing your story. As a kid I used to go to horse camp every summer. I LOVED it. It’s one of my happiest of memories from my childhood. I never thought about this being a way to work out too. 🙂 Have a good day!

      Thanks so much! Horses are so fun and it takes more than people think to actually stay on 😉

    I love how you compare eventing to triathalons for people. It truly is! I loved reading about your fitness plan for Smash. What I loved the most though was your whole paragraph about life being unpredictable and how that relates to your riding and training. Sometimes I have to remind myself that the world doesn’t revolve around my horse! 🙂

      Wait? The world doesn’t revolve around horses and the barn??? crap. 😉 Yeah it’s hard to separate reality with the horse world and most of my friends get sick of me talking about Smash but…c’est la vie 😉 If only they knew how much fun it was to smell like horse and pamper a 1200lb animal who probably doesn’t even realize how good they have it half of the time 😛

    Oh I really liked this post. I am a horsebackrider myself, I do not do eventing, but I do long distance rides with my Hispano-Arabian horse.

    And it is so very very important to train the horse as well as the rider. You don’t do your horse a favour, if you sit on his/her back like a bag of flour, because you lost your power after some minutes…

    I love your plan(s). Go ahead!

    Warm Regards
