“Horseball This English-style team sport is like polo, football, and basketball all in one. It is a fast, mounted competition where a ball is carried by hand and shot through a high net to score points. During the competition, riders use the weight of their horses to shove their opponents out of the playing area without unseating themselves.”

“Gaited horses are considered light horses, bred for riding with smooth gaits. Historically, these horses were bred for wealthy landowners. Today’s gaited horses typically excel at trail riding and showing. Common breeds include the Icelandic, Peruvian Paso, American Saddlebred, Tennessee Walking Horse, and Rocky Mountain Horse.”

“Although owning and caring for a horse has not always been easy or fun, the relationships I formed with horses helped me learn responsibility and improved my relationships with humans. I have rescued, retrained, and rehomed horses for more than 45 years. I have competed in competitive trail and endurance, and I’ve fallen in love with classical dressage. I now spend my days riding for pleasure and training humans about horses.”
