riding horses

I was just wondering, I always like to find out what riding has done for other people as it seems to help people so much.

It’s given me a work ethic, I quit every sport before riding because it was ‘too hard’ and ‘I sucked at it’. Well, I sucked at riding when I started(and still do to a point) but I’ve finally found something I love enough to work to be good at it, and now I’m willing to work to be good at everything else too.

It’s also fixed my posture. I used to stand and walk with my shoulders rolled forward and my head down and never looked up, now I stand straight with my shoulders back and my chin up.
It’s really amazing what horses and riding can do for disabled people. All of the therapy stables are great, it seems to help them so much.
