    Numerous physical and psychological advantages of horseback riding contribute to general well-being. First off, riding calls for strength, balance, and coordination in terms of physical fitness. While riding, riders frequently change their balance, which helps to build stronger core muscles and increase stability in general. Along with improving strength and muscular tone, maintaining a proper riding position engages several muscle groups, including the legs, arms, and back. 
    Horseback riding is also advantageous for your heart. An aerobic workout that stimulates the heart is provided by the rhythmic action of riding, such as the rise and fall of the horse's pace. Regular riding sessions can build endurance, circulate blood more efficiently, and raise heart rate. 
    Horseback riding has advantages for mental health in addition to physical health. The relationship between the rider and the horse fosters friendship and trust. Spending time with horses can be therapeutic because it enables people to get away from the stresses of everyday life and find comfort in their company. 
    Additionally, horseback riding is a rare chance to be in touch with the natural world. Riding a horse allows riders to immerse themselves in the grandeur of the natural world as they explore paths, meadows, and forests. When combined with the rhythmic motion of the horse, the calmness and tranquility of the surroundings can have a relaxing impact on the mind, easing tension and fostering relaxation.

    This honest, funny and entertaining account of a life-changing experience, love for a football club and the way the game has been a bedrock throughout his life underlines that football may not be more important than life and death, but the joy and ecstasy it can bring – even for a Middlesbrough fan – really can help when times are hard.
