Big Horse, Small Patients "If you fall and shed a tear. I'll sell the horse." My dad has said this to me ever since I was seven years old, that is when he first taught me to ride a horse. There has been many times that I have wanted to cry but choose not too. Just last year, my little sister, Chloe, wanted me to teach her how to ride a horse.

It's a faded memory, a wisp of my childhood where he was present. A dainty, gangly creature that I had used as a lab rat. But he is dainty and gangly no longer.
