My horse story

Tweet

Hello fellow mylotians, For you horse owners out there I am going to tell you my journey with a paint called "Sweet pea" (i did not name her). At first I didn't want to try this "horse thing" like the rest of my family. I will admit at one point i hated horses, not because of them, but because of me. I was scared of them (can you believe it when I had never ridden a horse). Well it took a couple years and my family finally convinced me to come ride one day. I enjoyed it until I fell off. I fell off gettiing off. I was riding and my horse toppled (it was an old horse who probably shouldn't have been riden in which i regret). It freaked me out and even though I was okay I wouldn't get back on. A couple weeks later my sister came by to pick me up for some random reason in which she wouldn't tell me. Igot in her car and away we went. We arrived at a farm. We walked up to a gate where my parents and other sister stood. I saw this beautiful paint horse, who I would later find out was Sweet Pea, who trotted right up to me when I came to the gate. The farm owner asked me if I wanted to ride her and at first I refused. After some family pressure I got on her. I rode her for hours with my family watching every once in a while the horse testing me. My mom told me when I got off that if I boarded Sweet Pea at her barn and rode her almost daily she would take care of her and pay for her for me. I hesitantly agreed to this because something told me this was a good idea. A couple years past by and I visited Sweet Pea every day and even took care of her despite my mother's offer. We became close, the only horse I bonded with, and I lost my fear of horses from that horse. One day we were out riding and my mom decided to give her a try. She got on and I on her horse and we rode. About 15 minutes later we came across a raddler snake. All the horses were scared but Sweet Pea was freaked out. Sweet Pea started cantering and bucking. My mom fell off the front and was trampled to death before my very eyes. I had to put Sweet Pea down after that even though she meant no harm. I regained my fear of horses after a couple years and to this day I will never ride a horse again.
