@SRL Thanks for sharing your story. Riding horses is very powerful and it taught me about leadership, trust, strength and of course learning to work as a team.

I've been riding horses for 5 years now, and it's the best feeling in the world! It's really built up my confidence and I'm learning so much through my experiences with horses. I love music, too, and play in my school band. I agree with Dr. Betsey Stevenson when she said there's a relationship bewteen team sports and educational improvements. I'vev been in gifted classes ever since I started riding. Riding horses has made a huge impact on my life.

It can be a bit tedious to play two sports (essentially 7 months of the school year) when you are loaded with AP courses, however, the generally parents support it.

[...] talks about how the sports our parents made us do when we were small are actually useful. [...]
