At the time all I knew was that it was another opportunity to show without needing to own your a horse, and I wanted to join.

Riley’s mane and tail were braided, ready for the show tomorrow. His coat gleamed and all excess hair had been trimmed off. I could practically see my reflection when I looked at my saddle.
