Do you know that equestrians actually have some of the most leg strength out of most athletes? This is mostly because of the fact that EQ students have to somehow manage a big and heavy horse in between their legs. Even the ponies can cause trouble! We pretty much can handle just about any other situation, you will never be a problem.
Equestrians are those girls in the weird looking pants with the suspicious patch on the inside of their leg. No need to panic, these are just the part of our jodhpurs that give us some traction for riding. These pants also tend to extentuate our toned thighs and bum.
Yes, soccer and football can be hard, but imagine not being able to communicate with your teammates using words. Equestrians use the power of feel and if your fall off at the jump, you are probably doing something that you need to fix. In this way, EQ students have a unique set of skills that involve more than just talking.
Riding is more like a lifestyle, and may include “taking care of a kid”. Horses like humans need care and attention which sets us up for mom skills as I call them. We need to be there day in and day out which to some may seem bad, but I honestly think that this makes us dedicated to our hobby and in most cases, profession.
5. We are pretty kickass in everything else we do
Let’s face it, equestrians have some pretty great things going for them. We are good at almost everything we do, we are gracious but competitive people, all with some great looking bodies. We have muscles you wouldn't imagine. Next time you try to go and say that riding is easy, come find one of us and test out that theory!
