Riding at Shaver stables

 

Part 1

I really loved horses, and I wanted a chance to ride one. There was a stable about 2 or 3 miles from are house. One day we went there, and me and two of my brothers chose to go on a one hour ride. They gave us the horses, and I got a 19 year old Arabian horse called Lady. We got there just as they were leaving, so we went in last. Normally the youngest are first in line, but they weren't expecting us, so we were in last. When I got on Lady, I felt like she was going to tip over. She didn't, of course. My two brothers were riding Ruby, a 23 year old mare, and Charlie. Ruby and Charlie kept trying to eat the ferns, but Lady never tried once! We rode down a big hill, where all the horses started to trot. I felt like I was going to fall off of my horse!

 

Part 2

Two weeks later we went riding again. I asked if I could ride Lady, and my brother asked if he could ride Ruby, my other brother who rode Charlie didn't come. Lady still didn't try to eat. We rode for an hour again, so just the same stuff happened as in part 1.

 

Part 3

This time we wanted to ride for two hours. It was me and my brother Sean. I asked for Lady, and Sean asked for Ruby. It was just us and the guide. The guide, Anna, rode on Ruby's colt, Streaker. This time Lady tried to eat! We rode on a cliff, and into a meadow, where Lady tried to eat a flower that had bumble bee on it! We rode the horses back, and when we got off, my feet were hurting. I love riding horses.
