Were you close to this horse?

I love my horse.

What is your horse’s name?

Is it your horse?

We lease him, as in I get to ride him.

How long has it been since you saw him?

I actually saw him last night. I rode last night.

When did you get him?

August 7th.

How long have you been riding?

Him? Since August, but I say that I’ve been riding since before I was born because my mom was riding her event horse when I was in her stomach, and I started riding when I was like three, and I’ve been doing it ever since.

Can he do tricks?

Yeah, he jumps and I’ve trotted around with no reins which means I have no control except my body itself; I’m not holding on to his head.  He’s so good, he’s just perfect, so it just feels kind of normal.

Is he a show horse?

He was actually a really fancy hunter pony. I haven’t done any shows with him but my mom wants me to get into some shows.

What kind of horse is he?

He is half Welsh, quarter Arabian and quarter … wait… what is my pony?... I think he’s a quarter thoroughbred.

He is sixteen years old.

Are you competitive?

Not really.

How do you feel when you are riding a horse?

I feel alive and I feel good because that’s kind of my happy place. It just makes me feel important.
