The Bond

Horses and humans share a special bond. They can help people get through whatever they're going through, they can make miracles happen. When I started riding I only wanted to walk around the arena, I didn't even want to trot. Now that I built up my confidence I can now trot and actually everytime that I go to horse riding lessons I trot around the arena. Hopefully by the time this story is published I'll be loping. And surprisingly I found that I am more confident and not so emotionally sensitive anymore. Before I started riding I was really sensitive, if I was in tiniest bit of trouble I would start crying. Now I'm not really like that anymore. The Bond between horse and human is magical and it's something that you can't break. They know how you are feeling and can reflect that. Horses are much more than an animal that you ride, they can be your best friends and they can be there when you are feeling really, really sad. For all the horse riders out there I think you know what I'm talking about.
