Our Love Of Racing
It is built within us and almost mimics primitive behavior. We desire to go the distance through all hardships and never stop. This nature is very profound in athletes but we all have it to some degree. We are naturally competitive and sometimes even with ourselves. Sports have been around for about as long as mankind. We seem to still want to be the strongest, healthiest, and quickest. It gives us a good feeling inside. We are not exactly concerned as to why we feel this way but we do nonetheless. We just want to be the fastest.
We love to be winners and everyone loves a winner. Being winners makes us feel better about ourselves. This must be done even before the start of the race. The feelings of anxiety produce a positive force that will have an effect on the competitive part of our brains. If we did not have anxiety then we would find it hard to get motivated to win. It would not be “exciting” enough for us. The person in the stands watching also helps to increase the energy level in the racing environment. It’s all in the preparation and the competition. We describe it with phrases like “getting into the zone,” “going with the flow” and keeping up momentum.
We all must have goals in order to accomplish anything in life. For all of us, there is nothing to compare to winning. Even if we don’t win, we love the thrill of the game. We love to watch the horse races with the jockeys speeding around the track on sleek, well-built horses. And lastly, we are thrilled to pull for others because we love to see them be winners too.
And it’s not just racing. Though keeping your horse on your property allows greater enjoyment and learning experiences, it also requires you to be more attentive toward your horse and to be more knowledgeable in the care of your horse. Horses are quite sturdy and adaptable and when it comes to providing adequate shelter, their needs are very basic. Horse shelter essentially needs to provide shade, ventilation, protection from the elements, and dry footing. If you have only basic carpentry skills or are on a limited budget, you may want to consider renovating a shed or other structure you may already have on your property or erecting a three-sided shelter.
