Realm Of Realm-Personal Narrative
My best friend Alison had recently taken up horseback riding. Her mom, Carla, offered to take me to see Alison during one of her lessons on the weekend. I had never seen her ride the horses before, so I was pretty excited to go.
I remember telling Alison I wouldn't ride any of the horses beforehand because I was scared of what could happen. Despite me telling her this, Carla and Alison both encouraged me to ride a horse. "Nothing bad will happen", they said. "It will be fine", they said. Man, I bet they both felt bad afterwards for telling me that.
About forty-five minutes into Alison's lesson her instructor and Carla came over to talk to me. They both asked me I if was interested in riding the horse around with Alison for a few minutes. I was extremely hesitant to ride the horse. If not for Alison coming over and convincing

Alison was so excited to be showing me all the technical stuff to riding that she practically pulled me up onto the horse. Alison sat behind me and I sat in the front so I could hold on better.
The horse had been walking at a decent pace, and everything was fine so far. We had done a few laps around the room, and I was fine with the basic stuff... until it came to trotting. If you aren't aware of what trotting is, it's like jogging for a horse. So, here Alison and I are on this horse trotting around the room when the horse gets spooked and does a jump to the side.
At this point Alison and I had both flew off the horse and people were racing to get to us. Alison landed on her back and got the wind knocked out of her; whereas I landed flat on my face and couldn't move. It felt as though my head had just got slammed into a large brick. Not only was Alison not able to breath, but on the opposite side of the horse my face is squished into the dirt floor and I'm crying in

    In this particular arena, and in most others there were cliques. Cliques in the horse world are very similar as to what they are during high school, you are either in or you are out. I was not considered part of the clique, because I did not portray the skills they were looking for. I was younger and when the better riders would not ride with me, the words were bullets shooting down my confidence. Consequently for them, it did not knock me down but raise me up.…

    I had no idea why she was asking me if I still wanted to ride. I was flooded with such conflicted feelings. I had been doing horseback riding for 8 ½ years; I couldn’t even comprehend not having riding as the center of my life. On other hand, I was becoming aware that I was getting really sick of freezing all winter at the barn, and constantly relying on an animal’s health in order to do my sport. I was so tired of the weather dictating if I could do my sport or not. Also, I was lonely at the barn. I wanted to be doing something with kids my own age. At that point, the only people I rode with were adults because they were the ones jumping the levels of jumps that I…

    Horse showing is not an easy task. It is hours upon hours of going in circles and patterns around the arena. You have to know all the right patters and ques as well as having everything spot on and perfect. It is perfect chaos. I smiled to myself at how perfect this show was going. I’ve only been showing for 2 years and so far I’ve gotten $10, 1 ribbon, and a good job from my trainer. If you were me, you would understand how exciting it was. My trainer, Dominique, is also the real owner of my horse and my same age best friend. I had never won anything at a horse show before. More than anything I got mad because I could never get Drifter to listen or did something wrong. So, yeah, It was a pretty special night. However, sitting here…

    When she saw the oxer with the brush on top she started panicking. An oxer is a jump that has width. This oxer was shaped like a table it had tons of moss, grass and plants on top. They did this to test your horse if they would spook at the jump. He was a pretty spooky horse any way and he was definitely still a little injured and it was cold. She knew that he would always try to jump the jump and not duck out. A lot of horses run or duck away from a jump they don’t want to jump. This is an awful habit that a lot of horses have but any horse at this level that still ducks out, shouldn’t be…

    When I started horseback riding I was only 5 years old, and I went to the lessons everyday with my best friend Lexi. Lexi was much better than me, and owned her own horse. I was always a little jealous of her mainly because she could jump, canter, and trot and in the year I had been taking lessons, I was still only allowed to trot. I wasn’t scared at all. Despite my being shy when I was younger, I always took chances and wanted to do new things when it came to riding horses.…
