i'm 3 year old pinto mare and i live in a 3 star equine center my owner is a 14 year old girl named Rosetta. i use to live on a farm in Denton but i was bought by the girls father for a birthday present and also because my dam and sire where champion horses but now i live here in Ottawa. i paced my stall uneasy at the thought that today she would ride me for the first time but then i heard it the clacking of her shoes on the the smooth ground and the clinking of the halter against the lead she whistled for me but i backed up till i felt the wall against my haunches she appeared from the dim light of sunrise "come here Lotta" she called but i did no stir she sighed then walked in "come here girl" she called out again except held her arm out with a sugar cube in hand i slowly walked towards her why was she being so nice to me she usually would roughly put the halter on my face then tug me out but today she gently put the halter on "that's it gain her trust" her father called out i pinned my ears back and let out the loudest neigh i could then i turned so my haunches faced her her father quickly ripped her out of the way of my flying hoofs "dumb horse" she muttered i had barely been broken in not even ridden once but i wasn't about to start today "alright lets test her" the father said and he went up to me i liked him because he was not rough with me so i allowed him near he ran his hand down my side till me was at my head then he gently put the halter on and led me out then he led me through a metal shaft but stopped me half way "close that end" he called out i didn't know what this thing was but he tied the lead rope to a metal handle then he walked out the front way and shut that gate the metal wall was half my height but was tight he came over with something in his arms but he went out of my view and to my flank i still didn't understand what he was doing but till i felt weight on my back i squealed and bucked but my hoofs only hit the metal gate behind me and i couldn't move the only sound was me squealing and my hoofs clanging on the metal but then whatever it was fell off my back and underneath me i stepped on it and it was a huge bag of grain her father watched in disapproval "right tack her up we are breaking her in today call the stable hands in" he told his daughter a few minutes later one of the stable hands grabbed my lead and led me to a room where there was weird looking objects he tied me to a metal pole and grabbed a white thing and placed it on my back it was light and i could barely feel it then he grabbed something bigger than the other and placed it on me it was much heavier and something was tied tight on my girth. it started to annoy me a lot but he wasn't done he took the halter off and shoved a metal thing in my mouth and tied it to my head i heard they called it a bridal it was horrible and a bit sharp he led me out and into the arena where Rosetta was but she gave something to the stable hand which he tied to my legs i had my legs splayed like a newborn foal and shaking my head from how tight this bridal was but he pulled me over to Rosetta but before she attempted to mount me her father tied something from my chest to my back legs he held the bridal as she walked to my side i didn't like this at all i pinned my ears back but she pay no response she put pressure on my back then put her foot in the thing on my back and got on it was a hot day the heat from the saddle made me sweat unable to get proper breath from the tightness of the saddle and the bit made it hard to open my mouth the arena had no cover so the heat shone on me. her father handed her the reins and she pulled them tight to my head would be pulled up then she ripped the reins around and demanded "trot!" from our training i knew what this meant but the restrains on my back legs didn't help her father came over and took them off and i did a trot for her "gallop dumb horse!" she demanded and whipped me "its the first day take it easy on her" her father suggested but she didn't listen to him and whipped me again throwing me into a canter but she whipped me twice more  than last time and yelled "i said gallop dumb horse!" i galloped as she asked "why cant you be as good as storm!" she yell at me i could barely understand her but she was getting on my nerves with the whipping i let out a whinny in anger but she reined me to face a jump as we got closer i got more scared i didn't do the jump but i screeched to a halt causing her to go flying but she still had my reins in hand ripping my head down causing pain in my mouth i turned and started running with her dragging beneath me "STOP THAT HORSE!" her father screamed and raced towards me stopping me in my tracks i was scared he quickly grabbed Rosetta from under me i whipped myself around and in fear bucked then ran i stopped at the other end of the arena and a stable hand walked over to me slowly and calmly grabbed my reins and led me back to the weird room where he took the weight off me along with the horrid bridal and he then put me in my stall where i was unable to sleep.
