These little things will make your boxing workout smoother and more fun. I'm 40 and just got my first horse. That's where the sweat begins. Then it's time to groom the horses, brush them from head to toe. It's such hard work that the kids just want to quit.
Actual riding is great for strengthening the leg's inside muscles.
I don't ride English, which involves pushing yourself up in the saddle. I just use my legs to brace myself to keep from bouncing too much. If one of my kids played football, I'd put him to work on the ranch. Believe me, he'd be ready for football. Blind or deaf people may love to run or bike, but need an able-bodied person to help with safety issues.
