My name is Paiton. My horses live at my grandpa's farm about 10 miles from my house because I live in a borough where we can't have farm animals. My first ponie's name was Chico. He is was a 14 year old paint/Arabian Pony when I got him. Now he is 18. I was 9 years old and in 4th grade when we got him. I'm 13 now. When I was 11 (almost 12) I got a new horse named Becca. She's an amazing pole horse and was running 19 second pole times when she was little. She's 18 now though and was running 23 seconds. Just recently I've gotten her back into the low 21 second range. Here is my story about how it all began, the bumps in the road, and the events that changed my life forever.
