Hi everyone its me again I thought today I'd tell you my thoughts on why a lot of people think showjumping isn't a sport however some say that any Olympic sport is considered an actual sport. So why do people still think showjumping isn't a sport?
I'll tell you why, they think we just sit on a horse and tell it to go. They think there's no effort put into this sport. Now I know if one of my friends was told by someone that their passion, their dream job was called pathetic and not a sport they'd go crazy because every horse rider has to train at least 3 hours a day and on weekends 7 hours. We train like mad to achieve our goals at becoming professionals. Horse riding isn't just a sport its actually how you bond with the horses and that you are passionate about this amazing sport. If you're not interested in the slightest you won't understand or know how to work with a horse and if you can't work with a horse well let me just say the outcome would probably be you lying on the floor with a sore body.
Hi everyone, last weekend was the Interschools Showjumping League Finals. In the first round of jumping me and my horse Fionn went clear but my team was on 4 faults thankfully there were only 2 clear rounds so they had to put the 4 faulters in for the jump off my teammate went clear but she didn't do as we discussed. my round was really good until I knocked a pole it was my fault though because I turned Fionn too early knocking the fence but I had a quick time which meant we came 5th in the show. unfortunately because of this loss we came third in the league one point off being first place but we still qualified for the championships in England.
