Hi there.  I enjoy horseback riding.  Have you ever ridden a horse?
My daughter took equestrian lessons when she was 12 but she was afraid of the height of the horses. lol
I can understand that, it can be unnerving at first. Do you enjoy watching equestrian events like steeplechase?
I've never really watched a lot of equestrian events. Do you ride competitively? 
No, I'm not that good.  I just enjoy riding casually and there are quite a few trails near where I live.
I bet that is very relaxing to just enjoy a nice trail ride. What part of the country do you live in?
I live in Tennessee but am originally from England (where we call it trekking rather than trail-riding)
Oh wow! What a change it must have been to leave England for Tennessee!
It took a bit of getting used to.  People speak funny here! :D
