Hey, old sport

What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?

Horseracing or horse riding are two ever so different recreations.

Those who ride are further divided by the shape of their saddles. English aficionados have a slight disdain for the Westerners. I have ridden both styles and had an equal liking.

Taking to horseback is an often exhilarating activity and very fine exercise.

You won’t burn as many calories in the stands at Saratoga even if you jump up every time number 7 takes his turn round the track.

While riding is a way to canter away a leisurely afternoon, it’s a bet at the races that gets your heart racing.

Going to the window to put your money down turns this spectator sport into a participatory one.
