Country meadows

I was riding my favorite pony, Angel, around the riding ring. We were jumping and having a blast but she decided she wanted to eats grass. Right as I am about to turn around the corner, her head goes down and we were eating. I mean she was eating.

I tried as hard as I could to pull her head up. but I am only 9. I lost my grip and slid right off of her. But she got disciplined.

After that the next riding lesson, I was riding oliver. He and I were done warming up so I wanted to jump. I took him over the first jump,very smooth. the next a bit too fast. See, I have never cantered him. And the last one, he just bolted. I was so upset but I got him to stop. This went on for a few weeks.

But my riding instructor got a new horse. His name is Zipper. He's just the best. I fell in love with him. Now I just ride my horses, fun fun. My pony Popcorn and I love to go on trail rides in my neighborhood. And my dad's horse Star and I get along. I might do barrels with him.

But I just love horses and riding. I guess that's enough right?
