My grandparents owned a farm and a great deal of land, part of which was a gravel pit, full of Sand. This is where but we don’t have my story takes place. One day, I was riding a horse and showing off a bit by constantly galloping faster. until we reached the sand. The horse first of all wanted to turn back and head for the barn, but I had gotten it this far there was no turning back.
My brothers laughed at me all the while I tried to maneuver the hose down the embankment. I did manage, but it was terrifying. If you have never ridden a horse down an embankment let alone a sandy one where the horse doesn’t have sure footing, It is not easy. But just as I reached the bottom We found an angry badger who had built its home in the hillside.
So, we returned home with a great story to tell anyone who would listen.

I loved to ride horse back, and did so quite often with my friend Connie, It was amusing to us all how she ran. She had endurance and a genuine appreciation of the sport.

Then track season came and Connie had a Certain Gallop to her stride which I naturally assumed came from her horseback riding. She also had very long hair that shimmered in the wind in waves like a horse’s tail when she ran. She soon became known as Connie the Horse girl.

As if being called out to as the Horse girl wasn’t bad enough, Her favorite food was Apples. To top matters off, someone claimed to see her drinking from a trough after a race. And it was also claimed that she snacked in the locker room on grain.

Now I am unsure if Connie actually did any of this, but she was a great riding partner and friend, horse girl literally or not.

One day I got a call from my closest friend John asking me to get ready for some fun and excitement this weekend and asked me to get ready in one hour as he was coming to pick me up. I was not surprised because John does such instant planning most often and so I prepared for the weekend holiday but when John arrived I was astonished to find him on his favorite horse with equestrian clothing too.

However he took me along a place which he had already booked for camping and had a portable tent along with him. There was an equestrian campground that took care of the horse and I must say it was the ultimate fun and a very memorable trip for me. I felt that the horse also enjoyed with both of us in an open place far away from the noise and pollution of the city life. Before this trip I was not very comfortable with horse riding but riding it alone and with John too removed all fear from my mind.
