For some reason, they all looked to her to make the final decision on when and how to infiltrate the Revanite Compound. Fynta’s instinct was to charge straight in. They had killed Cinlat, her sister, and broken her brother. She…

Life in the Ranch is more fun than any other lifestyle. “I have so much fun playing with the cattle and horses and some require playing around and having fun with the animals” as I said with a smile. Riding horses is one of them because they need to move every once and awhile. Sometimes when my friend comes over we race horses but I never win. No matter what I do he still wins. It is also fun playing with the cattle. The way they react when I let the dogs loose is very funny. Life on the ranch…

In a second, the calf came crashing down to the ground with the lasso pulling it by the neck. Swiftly, the cowboy dismounted the horse, ran to the struggling steer, and in one quick movement tied its front legs…

When I was at the age of five, I learned what grit was. When, I was just four years old, I got my first dirt bike. The first ever race I was in and being the youngest one in the class. Then ever since then, I loved the sport of racing. One day, in particular, was a Saturday in June. It was just about 90 degrees. I rode up to staging and I was already sweating. Just sitting right in the sun, I started to get nervous, and sick. Now I’m at the starting gate with eight other kids. The gate drops…

In Peter Shaffer’s Equus, the plot revolves around seventeen year-old Alan Strang’s obsession with horses, culminating in his blinding six horses in one night.

We did not know what the outcome would be but I told her that I would teach her. She asked me to teach her when we were feeding the…
