Hanah On Horse: Hi, my name is Hanah and I'm a thirty-year-old woman who loves being outdoors. I grew up in the countryside where I spent most of my time riding horses and exploring nature.
Interlocutor: That sounds amazing! How did you get into horseback riding?
Hanah On Horse: Well, it all started when I was a little girl. My parents used to take me on long rides through the woods and I just fell in love with the feeling of being on top of a horse. It's like nothing else in the world!
Interlocutor: That sounds like an incredible childhood memory. What made you decide to start doing it professionally?
Hanah On Horse: Well, as I got older, I realized that I wanted to make my passion into a career. So, I started taking lessons and training with some of the best riders in the business. Eventually, I started offering riding tours and horseback lessons to others who wanted to experience the joy of being on top of a horse like I did when I was younger.
Interlocutor: That's really inspiring! What are some of the most memorable moments you've had while doing this?
Hanah On Horse: One time, I took a group of clients out to a private ranch in the mountains. We spent the day riding through the woods and exploring the beautiful scenery. At one point, we came across a herd of elk grazing in a meadow. It was such an incredible sight to see!
Interlocutor: Wow, that sounds like an amazing experience. Have you ever had any dangerous moments while riding horses?
Hanah On Horse: Unfortunately, yes. Once, I took a client out on a trail ride and their horse suddenly became spooked by something. It started bucking and throwing them off. Thankfully, I was able to catch the horse before it ran away with my client still on its back.
Interlocutor: That sounds like a really scary moment. How did you stay calm in that situation?
Hanah On Horse: Honestly, I just had to remind myself to stay focused and not let my emotions get the best of me. If I had panicked, it could have made things even worse for both me and my client. So, I took a deep breath and tried to remain as calm as possible until we could get everything under control again.
Interlocutor: That's incredible that you were able to stay so calm in such a dangerous situation. Thanks for sharing your story with me!
