started riding at a local barn on Long Island and I joined the UB Equestrian team at the end of the spring semester in 2007. I am currently competing under the Beginner Walk-Trot division at IHSA shows and I have been very successful. I love being a part of the equestrian team and participating in events with the members. Riding has taught me lessons not only on horseback, but also in life that I will continue to use.

· Joined because I love horse and I love horseback riding too. When I was in elementary school, I always asked my dad to bring me to the suburbs, so I could ride a horse there. But at that time, I did not know how to ride a horse. All I did is just sit on the saddle and show off to other people around me because I thought it was very cool to ride a horse. Now I have the chance to ride horses, and even have the opportunities to compete with other people, and I also can learn more about horses. It is a very exciting thing to me. Thus I joined the club.

· I have been riding horses for 4 to 5 years. I did not learn it in a regular way. In China, people ride horses in several ways, so different people taught me different ways to ride. I just feel confused sometimes, but basically I still know how to ride a horse in standard way.
