I would like to talk about an exciting activity that I tried for the first time, which was riding horse. I did this activity last summer when I visited the countryside area with my cousins. There was a small farm where tourists were allowed to try horse riding and I decided to give it a go. At first I was a bit nervous because I had never been close to a horse before, but the instructor explained it to me, everything clearly. I did it together with my cousins who had some experience so that made me feel more confident. The activity was not very easy at the beginning because it was hard to keep my balance and control the horse. However, after few minutes I started to feel more relaxed and enjoy the experience. This activity was new and exciting for me because I had only seen horse riding in movies before. Being so close to nature and feeling the movement of the horse was an amazing feeling. which also helped me overcome my fear and try something completely different. Overall, it was a memorable experience that I would love to repeat in the future.
