Equitation by Magda

I hesitated for a long time about the theme of my article. Finally Larisa told me, that it could be an article about my hobbies, my interests , not just about about serious themes . Finally I decided to write about my big hobby – equitation.

I think that most of you – readers of my blog, are not interesting for horses, but you can change your opinion :-) .

I started riding on horseback 6 years ago in a small, family stable with 10 horses. That is where I started. It was really great stable, with good people. But I found with my friends a new stable near Nymburk. That is where I really learned ride on horseback.

There I spend my holidays every year and either my free time in a school year. Like a discipline I practise the show-jumping- you can see in the photos.

Now I can tell you some “technical information”. To protect your head you must wear riding cap. Is a most important object in horseback riding. Then to protect others parts of your body you can use the breeches- special pants for riding. I can tell you all the instruments, but it is not so interesting, so I will show you some pictures.

And now some photos: summer 2008
