13. Horseback Riding
Horseback riding in modern times is usually done for sport, leisurely pleasure, or competition. However, there used to be a time not so long ago when horseback was the main mode of transportation. It’s not as easy as it looks either; it takes some serious skills to know how to ride a horse properly without hurting yourself or the animal. More importantly, treating the animal humanly and properly meant building a bond and relationship between horse and rider that not everyone could achieve. Horseback riding has been around since 3500 BC and has been an essential survival skill until recent years. If you’re lucky enough to have a grandparent that knows how to work will horses you should at least have a conversation with them to get a sense of what it was like to have such a special bond.
