Have you ever tried something new? When you do you tend to want to give up because you don’t accomplish it on the first try. Or maybe you feel scared to try a new food or ride your bike without training wheels. All of these things are scary for someone at the age of 7. At the age of seven trying new things was like jumping off a cliff. I had always ridden my bike with training wheels because I didn’t have much balance. My babysitter and I were writing on the sidewalk with chalk. I told her…

Learning to Ride On my 7th Birthday I was super excited to open my presents, my cake was almost ignored. I was dying to rip the packaging off and see what I got. When the time finally came I had a huge smile on my face as I sat in front of the big wrapped mound. I savagely attacked and threw the paper everywhere. Underneath, the bike was blue and green and had hot wheels logos all over it. It’s amazing! Of course it had training wheels on so I wheeled it outside with help from my mom. I jumped…

Do you have a foal that will need to be trained for riding? If you are looking for basic information on ways to train a horse after they have been…

Throughout the books Allegiant by Veronica Roth and The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks, love is present. I have read through the end of the book Allegiant, and part of The Longest Ride. Throughout Allegiant Tris and Tobias had developed an unconditional love for each other, but when Tris decides to take her brother’s place so he does not get killed, things change. While on the mission, Tris gets shot and passes away. Tobias does not find out until a little while later, and is very sad and…

To him it 's where he gets away from all the social media and his work to to have fun with friends and family. Grandpa says, “There are really two kinds of trips” (0:41).

Someone who is good at riding will seem like he is one with the horse. It looks so easy- all you have to do is just sit there, right? The rider can make the horse do anything that he pleases.

The horse will not look bad- he will seem at least five times smarter than you. Who does this stupid person think he is? He thinks he can control a horse…

Many events throughout an individual 's life will help to shape the kind of person they become. These events can be both depressing and inspirational. Examples of life altering events may include the loss of a loved one, the birth of a child, near-death experiences, or even participating in large scale events that comply with either their life goals or career paths. One event that has helped to shape my own life was attending the NHSFR, or National High School Finals Rodeo. I qualified as the…
