Wild ride


We saw this sign post during one of our long walks around our neighbourhood.

HippoSport. What kind of sport can one do with a hippo?

We can, perhaps, ride on one as it strides from land to the swamp.

Or we can swim in the swamp and see who can catch the most worms whenever it opens its mouth. Limit to three tries.


But HippoSport has nothing to do with hippos but everything equestrian. Those of you who are sharp may have spotted the little horse's face on the sign.

The store was closed the day we visited. If you visit the website, it apparently sells anything you need for your horse and horse-riding. Things you need to wear - from hats to boots, saddles, cuffs, horse food and supplements, cleaning equipment. As well as stuff whose use I don't recognise.



We saw horses in stables nearby. There is a large field a short distance away and that may be where the horses go for their gallop.

I wonder if HippoSport offers horse-riding classes. I'd meant to try riding last summer but didn't know where to start. Hopefully I can take lessons here.
