I am 11 years old, and have been riding since the age of 4. I got my first pony (who i still own) in June 2011 and i love him to bits. And in the short time ive had him, hes kicked me, hes bit me, hes trampled my head (wasnt knocked out just had a little cut and onlly had to be glued) and my first fall was off of him in the 6 weeks 2011 and he bolted on a hack and i fell in stinging nettles. Even though this happened, i still ride him! i love him to bits. I will never give up!i do dressage tho x

RIP Fellow riders we know your in heaven watching over us fellow riders!
ive been riding for 13 or 14 years, idk lost count, and i have been close to death five times now, i have never given up, and im proud to say that, but it is upsetting when i see young people, sometimes younger than me that die, died doing something i do every day, its a scary thought, but then i think, if im going to die, i want it to be while im doing something i lvoe, and everyone says they think ill die riding a horse ha :)

my first competition was at age 3. I have had my fair share of falls, I still ride, train, and compete though! Some of the worst: 2100+ lbs belgian draft falling on me, being dragged on a trail through gravel and water, getting kicked, being run over by a running horse, squished between a horse and a wall, galloping and hitting my knee on a badly placed fence post resulting in me flying backwards off of my horse and having my left knee busted open... etc.
I love my horses and will always ride.
