The horse. It is elegant,beautiful,strong and wild. They are my life. since mum died I decided to keep her amazing love of horses alive,I have never stopped loving them never stopped ,riding them well except for once when I broke my arm otherwise I have lived with them my whole life and it will continue that way. 

Hi i'm Lila you might have guessed i'm not your average teenager. I am an equestrian. I live on my dad's yard. park farm. It might just be the most beautiful place you have ever seen ok i'm exaggerating a little, but the beautiful water lilies on the pond where we take the pony's swimming every summer, And the hacking tracks through the woods. What horse girl could not resist!

My pony's name is stormy he is a beautiful little dapple grey gelding. Today I am riding his last show. He is going to retire. I am sad to know i cant ride him any more but I cant bear to sell him so we are going to keep him till he is old an slow and cant move no more.So today we are going to have fun and ride.

¨Come on stormy¨ ¨We can do this¨ I say with determination before heading into the showjumping ring. As I head into the big dusty arena I take a deep breath then coaxing stormy forward. He came up to the first jump in a big smooth canter before popping over it effortlessly as he did for the next on and for the next one and the next, and eventually he had cleared everything!As we headed out of the ring I gave him a big slappy pat on the neck and leaning down for a big hug. I grinned I sure was gonna miss riding him.
