I started horse-riding when I was a child and still try to go as often as I can.

I mean, I grew up riding. I can't ever remember not being able to ride or rope and all that stuff. It was part of my life growing up, so it was fun for me.

One thing I learned about riding is to look for trouble before it happens.

I've been riding since I was maybe three or four. Ponies at first, and then I've really always been doing it since.

I grew up in a place where a lot of my friends had horses, so I grew up riding. But I'm not an expert.

Riding uses so many different muscles. I ride two to three horses a day, and I ride almost every day when I'm not working or traveling. You use your legs, your arms, your back. It's a very complete sport.

I never ride just to ride. I ride to catch a fox. I play baseball to make the team.

As a kid growing up - I can see now - it didn't matter what I did, as long as it was something I could be really good at. Cycling just happened to be the opportunity that came along.

I may, however, begin riding again when I am 60.
