Horse riding

This is the season of the Paris Olympics. I discovered which countries excel in different sports. The Korean team has shown their talent in shooting, archery, and fencing. Whenever I watch the games, I feel inspired to learn those sports. This time, I've been drawn to horse riding. Actually, the Olympics are not the only reason. I still feel embarrassed about not learning to ride a horse when I was in Mongolia in the past. I only rode a horse twice there: once at a neighbor's home and once at a famous sightseeing site. I was eager to learn, but it was not allowed due to safety rules that prohibited all potentially dangerous activities.

Anyway, I looked up horse riding on Google. I found a nearby riding club. I think it is managed by my high school physical education teacher. As far as I remember, he was good at riding and teaching, and he owned several horses. According to the website, ten basic lessons cost about 300,000 Korean won. I'm thinking of starting lessons soon. I really want to ride freely in a wide-open field. Doesn't that sound wonderful?
