21. Not my thing
Thu Jun 18, 2026, 11:00 PM
Thursday

The main sports that people follow, I find boring - football, baseball, golf...I used to follow show jumping but left it for a decade or so and when I returned to watching it, I was less interested. It was far more fascinating to watch when I was riding, but it's just not as interesting as it used to be. Different countries had different breeds of horses and different riding styles - now it's been streamlined and there's very little variety.

I might watch the Olympics when it comes on, both summer and winter, or a big horse race but overall - following and watching sports just isn't my thing.
