Realizing That I Can't

I used to love horses and most of all horseback riding. But now I can't! See, I really love ballet so I decided to join it, but when I started ballet I got less time with the horses always being at class and stuff. I was kind of confused. Did I want to horseback ride or did I want to do ballet? So I kept horseback riding and doing ballet but then my teacher told me my muscles were becoming weak in the art. I didn't really know what to say at the time and I still don't know. What should I do? Should I stay in ballet or horseback ride?! Ahh, the confusion! -Laura

well i really dont know which one you should do... i cant make that decision for you but i bet you could do both if you wanted to. Im a horseback rider and that's it so ive never been in your situation, but what I do with riding any way is do some ground training when your not at the barn, and im sure you could do the same wiht ballet. If you took amybe another hour every night or so to do some exercises that will with your sports im sure oyu could be the best at both

horse back ride, you can't do anything better than that,!! if you had a boyfriend who didnt want you to ride, would u listen to him and quit, you might but I would never, and neither would any of mah friends, we'd never get off our horses except that our parents make us, and school and stuff, but not in the summer even now im in a different provence im going home to ride with my friends like ill never ride again !!!! but whatever you decide, go ahead and do it !!!!!!! sar

when i was about 10 or 11 i had the same problem. i d to dance but i d to ride. dancing ed me maintain my balance when i rode and riding ed strenghten my leg muscles. both were good for me but i eventually had to make a choice which should it be. thats completely up to you. you should chose which one you the most and you are happier doing. i choose to stay with riding but it was mostly for my dad and not me sometimes i wonder what it would be like if i would have stayed in dnacing instead. hope i ed.

You know you can get quite a work out for your muscles if you ride the right way. If you pick up say english riding then your calf muscles in your feet will become stronger as well as your leg muscles. You can do both, its not impossible, there are alot of things you can get into when you ride that will your muscles become stronger and more flexible. They have a yoga while on a horse that I saw one day. It looked actually and it s increase flexiblity and strangth. There are a number of things for you to try, just fing whatever suits you best.

I have the same problem. I take 5 different types of dance and horseback ride on the weekends. In a few years I will decide which is better. Just do what you feel.

Honey, I do both all you have to learn how to do is condition all of your muscles you need for both "sports"! Have , those horses, and dance like an angel! Love Always, Kisses Marissa

there's more of a future in houseback riding if u look at it from that angle. i did ballet for 10years and really *#!ed off with myself for giving it up, u can't express urself anywhere else like u can doin ballet. I did horseback riding for about 6years too, but i say go for the ballet!! whatever makes you happy tho hun
