Eight Precautions for Soaking in Hot Springs in Winter
1. Fatigue is Not Suitable
Learning horseback riding as a beginner: persistence and a good coach are key
Controlling a massive creature weighing over a thousand pounds and leaping over obstacles taller than a person — this comes from deep instinct, an inheritance of ancestral blood. In recent years, more and more people in Beijing have taken up horse riding, with equestrian clubs popping up one after another and competitions growing year by year. But upon closer inspection, the situation isn’t all that satisfying. Take show jumping, which most reflects riding skill — there are no more than twenty riders across all of Beijing who can complete at the B level (1.25–1.3 meters). Once you exclude professionally trained riders training in Beijing, the number of truly local riders is small enough to count on one hand. How did it come to this? There are many reasons, and people have already summed them up — in short, it’s “hard!” But actually, that’s a major misconception. Horse riding isn’t that difficult if you focus on a few essential aspects, and you can get twice the result with half the effort.
