The thing that bugs me the most when people say riding isn’t a sport is that, after an hour of practice of soccer what do you do? Or football? You shower and drink and rest. After an hour of riding, you’re still responsible for your partner. Before you can drink or rest or change, you have to care for the huge animal that is equally as hot and sweaty as you. In other sports, after practice is over you quit. In riding, when practice is over you’re only half done.
