sunlight reflecting off the polished metal spooked his horse causing the mare to jump off the trail, stumble, and spill him into the bushes. Stunned by a blow to his head and weakened from his previous injuries, he lay there a moment to catch his breath and clear his head. Stirred by icy water seeping through his clothes, he crawled toward the trail, ready if the woman came at him with a weapon. Although remorse clung to him as he crawled past dead horse, he felt relief that the mare hadn't…

THESIS: “The Rocking Horse Winner” by D. H. Lawrence and “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson are quite different by quite similar as well. Both authors use Gambling, love and having no love as themes. Gambling in the “Lottery” is right there upfront and in your face straight from reading the title to the announcement of the winner. Lotteries are a form of gambling. In the “Rocking Horse Winner” it’s not so in your face but comes about half way when Paul the son starts to bet on horses as well as…

Ever since my first ride, I was hooked, and ended up becoming a competitive horseback rider. So naturally, I have collected a lot of information about them. That’s just why I’ve decided to share that information, and choose them to be constructed and written about for my animal project! The horse, or…

Just not for me. Horses continue to influence my life in a more profound way, teaching me patience, humility, and that perfection is impossible so I should just enjoy the ride. Patience is crucial in the barn,…

over 100 beats per minute, I would finally be meeting my new horse that my father had purchased for me. She looked sort of like vanilla ice cream with Oreo cookies, thats what her color reminded me of the first time I placed my eyes on her. I had no choice in choosing her name, as my father had already chosen for me, her name was Canela. I would have remembered this as the happiest day in my life; six years old and getting my new horse, well happiest day for now. My ranch was located in a…

would often nap on the back of my horse while he ate hay, my face buried in his mane. I learned to ride before I could crawl. I sat in the saddle in front of my mom, until eventually, I learned to sit up for myself. It was not too long after my sixth birthday that I boldly announced that I was going to ride on my own.
