Call me idiotic, ignorant, naive, newbie...whatever you like, but any sport that requires an IV at the end to "feel better" seems a bit extreme to me.

 

Maybe I need to stick to trail riding?

 

I think some of you hard core folk have forgotten how shocking this could appear...and SHOULD appear...to some of newer folk.

 

Really...is there any other sport that does this?? Am I just being super sheltered?
