10 Annoying Comments That Make Every Horseback Rider Chomp At The Bit
Renee Kennedy

Growing up, I played plenty of mainstream sports — soccer, softball, gymnastics, you name it. But my favorite thing to do was ride horses and only certain people will understand why. From elementary school to high school, I was always getting comments from friends who liked to make fun of my hobby.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who experienced these questions and comments, so here it is. Ten annoying comments horseback riders get all the time:

1. So you're a horse-girl right?

I'm just a girl.

2. Doesn't that mean you're kinda crazy?

Don't you love this one?

3. Horses are terrifying

I can think of about 50 more terrifying animals.

4. When is your horse race?

I don't race horses, that's terrifying.

5. Don't you have to be a midget to ride horses?

You mean a jockey?

6. Is horseback riding even a sport?

Ask my thigh muscles after a two hour lesson, and then tune in to the equestrian channel during the Olympics.

7. It's probably so easy, you just sit there and the horse just goes

If you just sat there you'd fall off right away.

8. Does the horse run while you're on it?

It's called trotting or cantering.

9. What is so fun about galloping through a field?

Maybe you should watch a video on the different types of horseback riding.

10. Why don't you just play soccer or something?

Because everyone plays soccer.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire.

One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.
