........It's the ride of your life. Your heart is racing, the crowd is screaming, the judge's eyes are staring you down, but you don't feel any of this. With your earpiece intact, you and your trainer are an indestructible pair. The entire crowds' eyes are on you, their faces anxious to see what's to come. You are so nervous you can feel your legs shaking beneath you, but confident you can win at the same time. It's almost like your nerves take over, and you're just going to hold on for the ride. No matter how many times you have shown, this feeling never goes away. All the hours you spent practicing are out the window now. It's just you and your horse out there, and it's show time!

Every horse derserves to be loved by a child..

Internet World,
         So my mom gets ready to leave, does the whole crying thing, and heads back to Indiana. Leaving me here, for two never-ending months (dun dun dun). "Come on sis," my dad said and led me down the hall to the back bedroom. He opened the door to reveal the same pink princess paradise that had welcomed me since I was 4. It was complete with a canopy bed, a pink toy castle, and a white unicorn rocking horse. The only thing that had changed was that I had now upgraded to a "big kid bed." I sighed and let my Lizzie McGuire backpack fall on the pink carpet. When I was younger I didn't really mind coming down here. I had fun riding horses everyday and showing in the shows on the weekends. Somewhere in the midst school, and sports, I had lost my passion for horses. An old saying says that every horse deserves to be loved by a child. It really is a different kind of love. It's a bond of friendship and trust that you can't understand unless you experience it. Little did I know, but that summer would be one I would never forget.
