My Horse-Personal Narrative
On a beautiful day in 2013 my horse had a horrible accident. The horses were in the middle pasture grazing when I left for school. It happened to be that this day my mom went to work at the NRCS that August day, and parts were needed on the ranch, therefore my dad left for Pierre a little bit later that morning. When I walked out of school, and sat in the pickup, my mom and I went to the Cenex, and exclaimed to me that my dad is coming with my horse, he is cut. We took him to the vet out in rapid, and I hoped he would be okay. As I awoke to the birds chirping out my window, in the trees, I began to prepare to leave for school. I checked all my horses, so I knew they were okay, before I left. I also knew that my dad would be at the house for

    The history of the horse is a long and fascinating one. It starts before any humans even walked the planet and goes on to the present and future. They’ve been used in countless ways throughout history including being a prized possession to many American Indian tribes. About 60 million years ago, the history of the horse in North America began. The first horses were small creatures about the size of a fox that belonged to the genus Hyracotherium or the more common, Eohippus. Eohippus evolved into the genus Equus which is closest to the horses of today. As the climate and land changed the horses moved across the Bering Strait into Eurasia and Africa and humans find their way into the horse history. They domesticated horses…

    That was the day that my grandpa passed away. Every single part of that date is engrained in my memory. My parents had driven up to Wisconsin, and my older sister Lauren drove home for college to stay with me. It wasn’t out of the normal for my parents to quickly leave, so I didn’t think much of it. I remember going to hang out with Tatum, my best friend of the time. It was a nice day outside, so of course we were outside playing on the trampoline and doing all our weird routines like we always did. Her family, who was like a second family to me, decided to go out to eat so they brought me along. We went to La Charitas. I remember how Mrs. Teeple pulled out a funny card game for us to play, and I remember Tatum cutting out faces in her tortilla, making us all laugh. When we got back to the house we saw that my sister called, so I said bye to the Teeples and walked one minute down the road to my house. Lauren, who is one of the most emotional in the family, was left with the task of telling me that my grandpa had passed away. I had just grabbed a snack of chocolate cheerios as she started to tell me the news. I didn’t know how to react, so I ran into the basement directly to the furthest corner I could find. Lauren tried talking to me, but I wanted to be by myself. One of the hardest things I have ever done was talking to my dad on the phone after finding out. He called to tell me the plans, that he was coming home to get us, and…

    Essay On Crazy Horse

    I , Crazy Horse, was a very young and bright war leader in history who fought for the Lakota Indians in the Black Hill territories against the US. The name is Tischenko Witco but you probably know me as Crazy Horse. I'm a Lakota Indian of the Black Hills. I've been through everything from signing treaties to protecting my people to war with the US. On December 21st 1866, the fight that brought Crazy Horse out of the shadows was the famous battle of the Fetterman fight. I was still a very young man when this battle was going on, in fact. I was only into my mid twenties and I led this battle by faking or acting as a leader to lure colonel Henry B. Carrington and 700 other soldiers 4 miles outside Fort Phil Kearny into a trap. Before the battle, Sitting Bull and I got together and we both led and helped the Cheyenne and the Sioux tribes to win the battle. This was very significant because this showed the US that there was a new leader that could actually succeed and actually handle and control battles. This was the first of many battles for me. The battle was very important because, still at a young age, I got a lot of respect from others and even made relations with other leaders of different tribes just by going…

    The dining area of Rocking Horse Ranch was always hot and crowded during meal times, where the tired, overworked servers would bustle around attempting to provide excellent customer service for each and every inane request from the guests. I’ve heard that loud, hectic, quick-paced atmospheres filled with pretentious parents and scrambling children are almost calming sometimes. This atmosphere never brought me serenity; it gave me anxiety and stressed me out. Just the thought of sweeping melted ice cream cones off of the stained carpet and dry mopping the tiles floors gives me nightmares.…

    Most people do not understand what it is like to get ridiculed for something that you love. When someone works hard to fit in with a certain crowd, but not accepted because they are not as good as others it can have a negative or positive impact. If someone were to take the criticism negatively, it may cause them to give up and no longer try. On the other hand, positive impacts may encourage someone to work hard to become exceptional. Working hard to become better at something is not easy, but the benefits can be tremendous. I personally have encountered this struggle.…

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.

    Around the age of five, my Papa began dating a woman with a farm. It was her passion for horses and riding that enabled her to sign me up for lessons. My father likes to tell the story as follows: “One day I was at work and I received a message that told me to show up at this address when I got out of work. So I pull up to this address and there is my daughter on a horse!” I remember I was nervous, but as soon as I mounted the palomino pony named Sunny, that went away. There is still a picture of me posing on top of him sporting a purple Bratz bike helmet. It was apparent I had found my passion, something that would forever affect me. Moreover, it was with Sunny that I learned to walk, trot, and developed to love horses more than anything before.…
