Bringing in some horse rugs, blankets, saddle girths, saddle pads, tack, horse clothing, horse boots, and feeding the horse with hay and water is not the only thing the riders are concerned with. They thrive to come up as champions. Here’s an inspirational story of a horse riding champion.

Lucinda Green, one of the most acclaimed British equestrian champions, has bagged yet another prestigious award. This former world champion of horse riding recently got awarded for her outstanding contribution to the equestrian world.

Green was presented the prestigious Martin Collins Special Award for her outstanding contribution to equestrianism. The award was given to her at the Animal Health Trust’s (AHT) awards ceremony.

The award was to be given to the person with maximum number of contributions to the equine sports over a time period of last 20 years. Other nominees for the award included the likes of Whitaker family and Lee Pearson.
A much elated Lucinda was quoted saying, “This is something that I really can’t believe has happened, it is the most unexpected award to have come my way in many years. I never even considered that it would be me when in the company of such other worthy finalists in Lee Pearson and the Whitaker family. I am surprised but wholly delighted and I would like to thank all who voted for me.”

The award was presented to her by the founder of Martin Collins Enterprises, martin Collins. Commenting on Lucinda’s achievements, he said, “Lucinda Green is an icon for equestrian sport; she is still providing inspiration to hundreds of riders young and old through her very successful clinics and training videos. Throughout her career she has been a superb ambassador for eventing and continues to play a very important part in the development of the sport in the UK and around the world.

Lucinda has a great equestrian career background before she worked as a commentator journalist, and a host to training clinics. She is also privileged with being a member of the board of directors and chairman of selectors for British Eventing. This great horse rider is the only person to have bagged the Badminton Horse Trials six times on six different horses. Not only this, she has also remained an Olympic silver medalist.

Have you ever wondered to get an experience of a truly revolutionary idea of meditation and that too on a horseback? Yes, you have got it right. I am talking about the meditation on a horseback. Indeed it’s a truly unique meditation experience. It’s not about just riding a horse wasting your energies and horse’s precious time. It’s all about experiencing wild nature and vortex energy on horseback.

Actually, the idea is not mine in its entirety. There is a school of thought which validates this point and has come up with this unique form of riding. So don’t put blame on me if it does not work for you. But let me tell you something important here. It worked for me at least and for many people who stepped on the back of the horse with this mission. No, I am not joking!

In fact, horse is one of the most beautiful, powerful and intelligent species bestowed by our mother nature. And of course humans too can not be taken aback on this either. Now, this is something which evokes a special kind of rapport between you and your lovely horse.

You must have noticed one thing that while horse riding, your self confidence and joy of life enhances. And the moment you step back on the earth, you find yourself in an exalted state of being. That is where you can find bliss because of harmony with the nature.

There strikes a connection between your horse and you the moment you start horse riding.

Riding on a horse is truly talking to the nature while galloping through the wild meadows. It is no less than being in communion with the ultimate. There resides peace and harmony while keeping this in mind. It is as if living harmoniously.

Never mind next time you take your loving creature to experience the bliss stored inside you. The secret is that before stepping on a horse, be sure to get rid of all the day to day worries arising out of daily hustle bustle routine and that is where your horse gets relaxed and makes you relaxed.
