One of my biggest passions is horses. One of the reasons is because how they take away all the stress I have in life. This is called Equine Therapy for many people who are interested in horses.  I have heard of many other people that have experienced the feeling of freedom while riding a horse which I relate to. I find that when I ride I loose all the stress going on in my life. I just focus on that moment. I come home from the stable happy and ready to continue with my school and studying. Horses are also great for social skills. They are good at calming you down and making you feel comfortable. I noticed that when I began riding horse I gradually became more confident. I have read of many people whose life has changed by being around horses. The horses helped them through some very traumatic situations. Whenever I feel sad but cannot go to the stable I like to watch movies or videos about horses. Horses are a huge part of my life and I am so happy I found a way to deal with stress through them. There are many organizations, such as Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities (PRDA), which help people with disabilities learn to ride horses and have fun. I would love to volunteer there when I am old enough. Almost everything about horses makes me calm, including the smell of the stables, the feel of the horses hair, and just the fresh air. Grooming a horse is very calming and most of the time relaxing. I feel that more people should learn about Equine Therapy because it is super effective and just overall amazing.
