I love riding. There is no high like it, not even acting. I sat on a horse even before I could walk. Till I was about 21 years old, I used to represent India. I used to then wonder if I should make it my profession. But unfortunately, in our country, no sport is supported except cricket. It just isn8217;t financially viable. Our standards are so low that after reaching a certain point, one has to move to New Zealand or Australia.

I find riding for fun very frustrating. In Delhi, I had four horses and I used to live and breathe riding. When you are in the arena and your heartbeat is synchronised with that of the horse, it8217;s a wonderful feeling. The breeze in your hair is God8217;s most beautiful gift.
