Dear non equestrians, 

Sorry to disappoint you, but just because I am an equestrian doesnt mean im rich. just because I am an equestrian does not mean I own a horse(even if I do). Just because I'm an equestrian doesn't mean that I'm a cowgirl who rides only western and wears cowboy hats. Just because  I ride horses doesn't mean I race. I don't just sit there and let the horse do everything. Every movement  I make is sending a signal to the horse,  every pat I  give is praise, and every treat is a thank you. I work hard everyday to take care of  my horse, and risk my  life just being with them. Riding IS a sport, only my equipment can choose  to do what it wants, and It could kill me. Horses aren't just animals, they are your only companion when you feel alone, your shoulder to cry on when you feel sad, clowns(the funny ones, not the creepy kind) when you need a laugh. To me, they aren't just animals that carry me around on their backs, they mean the world to me. my horse is my best friend who gets me better than  anyone else.  Don't judge equestrians by what you think I am or what you think you know, for the equestrian world is not for everyone. You have to be strong and tough yet gentle, fall down and Gert right back up, and communicate with a friend who doesn't speak your language. I am an equestrian. 

Sincerely,

                 Equestrians
