What is the beginning of the passion for horseback riding?
My favorite sport is horse-back riding. I’ve been riding horses since I was six years old. It all started during the summer holidays when I was up in the mountains with my family. My parents would take me ride a pony every now and then so that I would get familiar with these amazing animals which I was already fond of. When I turned ten, I told my parents that I would have liked to ride more often and so we started looking for a pony club closer to home. Ponies are in fact best suited for young people; they are smaller and easier to ride, but also stubborn and require you to be determined and strong.
Challenges and friendships in the pony club
I’ve been riding ever since and find it extremely educational, and it’s a lot of fun too. During these years I learned how to approach and handle the ponies, and how to respect them. I’ve been challenging myself often to achieve what the trainer wanted me to do, and I was daring ever more in order to win the Gymkhanas, which require us to be extremely fast and precise at the same time. This all requires you to have a good feeling with the pony, and thus, I think I sort of made friends with few of them. Sometimes I’m sure they recognize me when I open their box. And also, I made a lot of friends with whom I share this very strong passion.
