Personal Narrative: What Am I Going To Do With My Horse

Improved Essays
I was standing there thinking what am I going to do with this horse? I have tried everything that I’d known! This horse was basicly a bucking bronco. There was only one thing left to try, and that was the vet. Good thing we have an appointment tomorrow.
As morning arrived I went to the barn at 6am, since our appointment at 7. The horse thankfully loaded the trailer with very little troubles. As I arrived at the vet office, I found a parking spot right away. As I got out of the truck the horse started bucking in the trailer I tried to ignore as much as possible. I went into the vet office to check in, as I arrived at the front counter the front desk lady (Jamie) started asking for my information. I said to her “I’m her for a 7o’clock appointment

    Slipping my boots on, my focus was fully on the task of getting my mare bathed and ready for the barrel race we were heading to that evening. My thoughts racing in my head as I reached for her halter and lead from the hanger on the tack room wall. I've been to barrel races so may times in the past twenty years that I should be at ease, but I'm almost more anxious now than I've ever been before. Walking toward the gate, lost in my thoughts, I'm wondering what the night ahead has in store for my partner and I. When I say "partner" I mean my horse.…

    During my ride at state, the bull stopped bucking and remained motionless for approximately 1.5 seconds. While stopped, I could clearly hear everyone behind the chutes screaming at me to spur him, but among the various voices I heard my dad’s words of wisdom, ‘keep your spurs set!’ When the bull did begin bucking again, he cranked it back to the left, which is rodeo slang for, he spun to the left hard. Had I had my feet out of him and been spurring, I would have been rocked to one side and bucked off. Yet I persisted.…

    By making the change to the isolated barn I also changed the type of horses I rode also. I went from riding grand prix hunter derby horses and medal winning ponies to rescue “project” horses. I was hit by many epiphanies while adapting to the new barn life. I was less fond of the “made” picture perfect show horses and had a larger admiration for the horses that were rougher around the edges. There was something about their uneven manes, sunbleached tails, and hoarse neighs that beckoned me to take an interest in…

    I’ve realized in my lifetime that saddling a horse that you are going to ride is not as natural of an act to other people as it is to me. Since the moment I had both the strength and height to lift my own tiny saddle up to the back of my animal, I was saddling by myself. These days in the time that I set aside to ride, I don’t even think about the act of saddling, I could almost finish the act blindfolded. In my realization that not all people know how to saddle a horse and if they have an idea it may not be the proper way, I decided to share my knowledge in this area with others.…
