                                            The Importance of Horses
         Horses were a very important part of Spanish history. They were the ones that frightened the Incas first, which caused them to be afraid of the Spaniards. The some of the Incas thought that the Spaniards were gods or something of the sort because of the horses they rode and the way they dressed.
         The way they rode was significant, but watching the demonstration made me realize that it's not my favorite style of riding. I like western the best because it's the type where you feel free while your riding whereas Spanish riding has more control on the horse and it looked less comfortable. I felt like that person looked at home on a horse, but didn't exactly like the way he was riding. I'm not positive, of course, but I like the way I ride.
           " I love riding, but I don't think I'd like this type of horse-back, what do you think?"

                 What type of riding do you like if you have ever ridden a horse?
