Thrill ride
To my best four footed friend..


“ I’ve always wanted
A big grey horse”
My mom and my trainer
Exchange a worried glance
“ What will it hurt?”

Like scaling a mountain . . .
I climb on the 6-foot horse . . .
My heart stops.
Uncertain… N e r v o u s or e x c i t e d ?

“ I tell myself
Don’t look down.”


We walk . . .



We trot . . .





We canter.



Its time.

He’s more skilled at this than I am.



His ears point forward.

Legs like thunder gallop toward the jump--

Into the air



We



Soar.
