My Top Three Horsey Experiences

1. BELMONT STAKES BABY! I just went this Saturday June, 11. I got an awesome view and almost touched Animal Kingdom... I didn't because the security wouldn't let me... lol... I got my picture taken next to Secretariat's picture... It was amazing. When Shackleford cut to the lead, I was 10 feet away from him. It was the most exhilarating feeling I have ever felt in my entire life. I felt the hoof beats come right through me and pound in my chest. It was amazing...

2. MY FIRST BLUE RIBBON! I used to ride western and when I was little I always dreamed of a blue ribbon. I always told my dad, when they call who won... check my number! One day he did just that and I had won my very first blue ribbon! I was six years old. On that same day I won three first place and a third against girls that were 13 years old.

3. BAREBACK! The first time I rode bareback was (very oddly and I don't know why it took so long!)about a year ago. I was a bit scared but after 15 minutes I was jumping two, six bareback! It was so much fun.

So, my top ten horsey moments were amazing and I enjoyed sharing them. I also love to draw, read, and ride horses! lol! Thanks for reading!
