It hard to think that on the back on at 1500 pound animal
is where I find solace.
In fact it is the only state besides sleeping
that my heartbeat is consistent.
The raspy snorts and pounding hooves
are music to my ears.
I am home.
My horse is eager,
waiting for commands.
He is ready to go,
he is seeing the jumps.
I am led to believe his own heart is steady
and in sync with mine.
We are on the same page,
horse and girl.
When we start,
we are both caught up in our course.
Three, two, one,
and then I am flying.

Writing this poem doesn't even begin to describe the feeling of jumping. I hope that while you read it, you will get some type of idea!
