passionate orse riding is a passive skill and could be considered as one of the elite class of exercises that man has ever discovered. HA gallop can promise a good calorie burn and an added leisure we get is the extra. path But, have you ever thought of taming a horse and making it capable of riding it, smoothly under control. Believed to be one of the strongest animals in the world, taming and moderating one of these strong beasts could be a dangerous play, if done without the supervision of an expert trainer.

Karunakaran, widely known as ‘Karan’ amongst horse riding lovers in the kingdom is a horse riding instructor for the past 25 years. Weekender took up the chance to meet the trainers in his mid-40s who said that becoming an instructor wasn’t a planned move but a passion that rose to its optimal stance when he was 18. “As an instructor, I provide coaching to my students in a variety of equestrian disciplines whilst building a designed skill to improve the performance and communication between the rider and the horse. The first and foremost exercise that I educate my students in is to get rid of the fear factor. They have to come close to a horse, feel its presence and allow the horse to mingle with the student who’s going to take up the saddle. “It is all about the trust and confidence we build before jumping onto a horse. We have to understand the horse in and out and never try annoying it in any manner. I also offer them a quick tour of the stable while teaching them the basics of grooming and tacking up” Karan told Weekender.

When Buckingham Palace nodded in approval

At Country Club, Budaiya, Karan has nearly 15 horses at the stable. He offers training for beginners and experts. “People choose the best hacking area, and at Country Club we have ample space for hacking however some still prefer taking the horses to sea shores.” The passionate trainer also shared of that very special moment in his profession when he received the nod of approval from nowhere else but the Buckingham Palace itself. “Very recently at the club for training, we had a representative from Buckingham palace come in; I was actually unaware of her identity and that would have been how the situation would remain if I hadn’t received an appreciation letter from the palace itself. That moment will be something that I shall keep close to my heart forever.”

Horse riding instructors work in wide variety of locations such as clubs, equestrians or riding centers. Many specialize in different disciplines such as driving, vaulting, show jumping etc. But, Karan is an expert in galloping and gives all his credit to the Country Club, with whom he has remained associated with since he began learning about horses inside out. “I have never considered horses as animals and I have the best pals here. While I may have become the expert now, I too had my bitter experiences whilst horse riding, but it’s the passion that just keeps the ride smooth and worth it, ” Karan concluded about what he considers is the most rewarding job he could ever get.

There are also phases that most of relationships go through and even though each couple is different, I think it is quite interesting to have a closer look at this ‘love guide’. KEEPS THE HEART HEALTHY AND HAPPY: The first phase is when two people fall in love. Passion is the strongest component at that Walking on a regular basis prevents heart ailments and results in the healthy functioning time. This feeling of butterflies in the stomach, thoughts roaming around the other person, of the heart. Many of the heart ailments spring from not caring for our body, and treating excitement to see them… Like fire, passion burns out with time.

And the phase that ends the cycle is called a break up... whether it suits our body, and whether our body can handle the pressure of going through As you can see, dear Reader, what you are going through it nothing unusual.

I’m sure he will want to repay you. off to get your track pants and sports shoes? As for your ‘affair suspicion’, I would be careful here. These days most people are hooked to phones, laptops or games (which is extremely sad). Try to introduce ‘ no electronics policy’ in the house between 6 and 8 pm for instance and refresh the art of conversation. Perhaps in the beginning your hubby won’t be thrilled, but if you prepare some exciting topics to discuss, he might change his attitude. I’m sure your daughter will benefit from the undivided attention that both of you will give her. Have faith in your relationship, all you need to do is to add some spice to your daily routine. As easy as it might sound, be aware that it’s a hard work. But that’s what the essence of marriage is. Good luck!
