I took lessons every week to become a better rider with my horse, “Poe.” Carol, my new instructor (appositive), told me to try to not use stirrups when riding him. We started off walking around the ring without any stirrups, which was easy, so she told me to pick up a trot and move faster.

And yet, the sport itself is never shy of danger. Many who have gained some mastery of the sport have met disastrous endings in the quest of making their “most dangerous 8 seconds” stick.

utopia to his death. He had collapsed due to starvation and work overload, which resulted in him having a great injury. At the cowshed, Boxer proves his loyalty and how he is a valuable soldier, by knocking a stable boy unconscious with his mighty hoof in chapter 4.

Boxer’s mottos such…
