Reporter Ferayed Hok had never ridden a horse, but it\u2019s not a problem for the student riding association RSR Marcroix. \u201cEveryone, with or without experience, can ride with us,\u201d says treasurer Hannah de Rooij. They even have \u2018drinking members\u2019 who don\u2019t (want to) ride a horse, but regularly come to their drinks. Everyone is thus welcome. \u201cAs long as you\u2019re a student and younger than 27,\u201d says Hannah.<\/p>\n
Every Wednesday evening, starting from 7 p.m., the association takes a ride, after which they have dinner and drinks together. \u201cNow we have many students without riding experience, so they\u2019ll get private lessons later,\u201d says Hannah.<\/p>\n
Before Ferayed was allowed to climb a horse, he must first choose a cap. \u201cIt could kill you if you fall without a cap,\u201d the treasurer tried to \u2018comfort\u2019 Ferayed. Our reporter could ride on Lance, one of the most beautiful horses of the association. \u201cSo you have to sit up straight,\u201d Ferayed discovered during the lesson. \u201cUse your feet as a gas pedal and your hands as the brake.\u201d<\/p>\n
