Spring's gentle breeze, blooming flowers and green grass tell us it's
time to go outdoors, breathe fresh air, bask in warm sunshine and refresh
yourself from cold winter. Lots of activities suit the cheerful season,
let's check out.

Group barbeque

Have chicken wings and beef slices preserved overnight, then call several
friends and go barbeque together in a sunny day. Don't forget pokers.

Horse riding

To most people, horse riding is kinda a luxurious sport because it is
expensive. A good horse may have the same price as a BMW sedan. Besides,
you need take preliminary training courses before you're qualified for
riding horses. The courses cost a lot of money as well.

Spring is a good season for the sport. The earth is not as frozen as in
winter, which won't make horse tumble.

If you'd like to have a try, don't forget take breeches and gloves with
you. Boot, helmet and horsewhip can be rented at the equestrian clubs.
