Some Answers to the February 2007 Question:

Samantha in the USA :
"I love riding as long as I'm with a horse. But my fav would probably be a sunny day riding in the woods with my horse."

Anne-Line in Norway :
"I like all kind of riding. But walking in the forest with birds singing, sounds very cosy. but galopping very fast is also funny."

Tiffany in the USA :
"(c) Competitive and challenging!"

Ashley in Canada :
"I Like Fast And I Like Trail Riding Because When I Am Going Fast I Feel Very "Connected" With The Horse I Am Riding And When I'm Going Slow I Always Feel Relaxed. When I Am Going Slow I Usually Use T-Touch Then When The Horse Can Trust Me And Is Calmed Down I Urge Him Into A Trot Or A Fast Canter!"

Sarah in the USA :
"I like riding fast and exhilarating! I like the feeling of the wind blowing through my hair and on my face."

Kara in the USA :
"I like slow and peaceful. Fast is fun, but slow is more relaxing. When I get home from school I like to just relax."

Tessa in the USA :
"I like a) fast and exhilarating, because it makes you feel free, and I love that feeling. Just yesterday I cantered a horse called Tango, and she had a FAST canter!!! I was flying around, enjoying myself, until I realized she wasn't stopping any time soon!"

Genevieve in the USA :
"I don't ride, but I guess my favorite would be fast and exhilarating, because I tend to be a fast/quick/get things done person."

Stephenie in the USA :
"I like all sorts of riding, but definitely nothing fast like racing. I like going fast but no racing. Jumping is more my thing. Also trail rides! Nice, long, peaceful trail rides."

Stephanie in the USA :
"Definately (a)!!!"

Stephanie in Canada :
"The best kind of riding is riding with your friends with your hair blowing with the wind because you're going so fast. It is always fun to spend time with your friends especially on horseback on the trails. It is also nice to have friendly competitions with them every now and then. My other favorite type of riding is private lessons because then you can get a lot accomplished with your horse."

Shelby in the USA :
"(A) Because if its fast, you can feel like you're part of the horse."

Sara in the USA :
"a- because it's fast and exhilarating! And b- because I love trail riding, there are tons places around here in the woods. So that means wild life everywhere! Deer, birds, squirrels, chipmunks, foxes, and all kinds of other animals! (depending on what time of year) And creeks, tons of flowers and plants! But if riding here were just slow and peaceful, it wouldn't be fun, so I'm a and b! :D"

Avery in the USA :
"I like riding whenever I can- none since May 2006 though. No faster than a trot yet, even though I started riding in 2004!!"

Kourtney Ryan in the USA :
"A and B! A little bit of each. Trail rides mostly, though!"

Keanna in Canada :
"I like competitive and challenging because it gives you something to work on. In competitions, there is always something you can learn to improve on. You can also meet a lot of new people and travel to new places through competitions. I also have a competitive streak so I work hard to beat people. But then there is also a time when you need to take a break and enjoy the time with your horse."
