I got a phone call one night when I was on my way to go feed my horse that she got out of her pasture and was in someone’s yard. We did not know how she got out but after looking at the fence we found a place where it had come down. The next morning I put her back out into her pasture after the fence got fixed thinking she won’t get out again. I was at school and my first class of the day had just started when I got a phone call. It was someone telling me that my horse had jumped the electric fence and got herself stuck between that and the wooden fence. I quickly called my mom and got her to pull me out of school so we could go get her unstuck. Once we got her out we found out that the electric fence wasn’t even one. So I thought my horse …show more content…

This place was well kept and I thought with a new place and a better facility my horse would just go back to normal and I could ride her again like I used to. Well that didn’t happen. The first time I tried to ride her she tried to buck me off. Any time I tried to walk her to the round pen to work her she would start to freak out. At this point I was terrified of her afraid she was really going to hurt me. By this point is when we decided someone at my old barn had to of abused her. The lady who owned the property swore she could fix my horse in two months, so I paid her to work with my horse. Well come to find out she wasn’t even the one working with my horse it was one of her old students. Also she said my horse was worthless and nothing but a waste of money. After finding that out I thought it was hopeless and I decided to put my horse up for sale. In the process I was looking for a new horse. I came across one in Conway and went out to go look at it. When I was out there I met a man named Mr. Ed. He was a horse trainer. After I couldn’t sell my horse I decided to give it one more shot and send her off to Conway.

What some people do not understand that these horses are loved so much. It doesn’t matter whether it is a barrel horse of rope horse. After they work, we pet them, give them treats, let them relax, and sometimes they get a massage or ice on their legs. Source A, “The Sport - the Life- of Rodeo” says, “Just like in basketball, there is a team. My team consists of my horses, my parents and everyone who helps me keep my horses working, including my vet ad my farrier, who shoes the horses,” (Pallesen).

I love my horse, so much that sometimes it seems like he may even be the center of my life. I find it hard to imagine anyone having a horse and not loving it or being scared of it. But there was once a time when my little sister, Carrie, was scared to ride her horse and would not ride any other horses either. It all started on a warm summer day, my family and I were out for a ride on our horses, we stopped at a neighbor’s house to visit, and their youngest daughter Makenna wanted to ride along.

As I reflect on my life and my experiences, it’s essential to acknowledge how much of a role horses have played in my life. Much of what drives, motivates, and inspires me stems from my horseback riding career. When I think of the person I’ve become, my mind takes me back to the fifteen years I spent in various barns, being taught by several coaches, riding hundreds of different horses, and mucking out countless stalls. In those moments, I didn’t realize how much I was learning from the coaches, the horses, and yes, even the chores, or how all of it would carry over into the academic and professional aspects of my life later on. It’s only now that I can see how those years of my life were molding me into a better person than I would’ve become otherwise.
