My most memorable experience will stay in my mind forever. For most people,horses are just animals
that should
only be used for racing. Ever since I was a child,my dream was to ride a horse. When that time finally
came,my heart
beat a thousand times a minute.
It was a warm summer day,and we were at a park. My mom was buying several things for home
while I wandered
around to find something interesting. Suddenly I found a horse standing down the block. I ran up to it, not even knowing
how to pet it,just excited to see the most beautiful animal. He was shining white,with a well-brushed tail.
Where was
the owner?
Right away I made up my mind to ride this horse. I found my mom and dragged her to where the horse was. The
owner was back and stated that I couldn't ride it. Tears flooded down my cheeks as my mom tried to
convince the man to let me ride the horse. He finally agreed for a costly price. Being on the horse
awakened all the senses in me. I was the happiest little girl,having the time of my life. I began planning to
buy a horse after I became a millionaire. Before I
knew it,the ride was over. Surprisingly,l actually leamed to control the horse.
That day was probably the happiest time of my life. Most children wouldn't have as much fun as I did.
Several years later,I began to get involved in show jumping. If it weren't for that special experience, I
wouldn't be able to enjoy the most amazing sport.
