From going on a trip to moving to a new city there is always something that has changed your life significantly. The thing that has changed my life turns out to have four hooves and a heartbeat.

I was going into a downward spiral and there had been nothing that was helping me out of it, which was until I was able to get my horse Dallas.
It was a really early morning in the beginning of May, I had jumped into the car for a 5 hour drive to Wellborn, Florida in hopes of meeting my new horse. I was very anxious sitting in the car watching all the trees and cars that I was passing by. My dad was in the seat next to me and we had been talking but I couldn’t hide my excitement as I waited to see my new horse. As we pulled into the driveway to my right I could see a dark figure out in the distance, I knew it was my horse. When I got out of the car I walked up the fence to get a closer look at what I hoped would be my new horse.
That’s when I saw him standing under a tall oak tree in the back of his pasture. He was a tall dark horse with a long mane and tail. I couldn’t contain my excitement anymore so his owner called his name and he came walking up the front gate of his pasture. As he was walking towards me we locked eyes and I knew that he was my horse before I even had the opportunity to ride
