When I was little I absolutely loved riding my horse. I rode my horse with my mom everyday. I didn’t care if the whether was hot, or cold I would always be on my horse. I rode everyday after school. I have almost been riding horses since I was born. I was first on a horse when I was six mouths old. My mom held me as we walked around on a horse in our pasture. For Christmas I actually got a little pony that I could take care of. My mom saw that I was getting more and more interested in the horses. For my 4th birthday shes bought me my very own horse. I was so excited. She was a dark bay with black feet, and her main and tail were black. She also had a white blaze down the middle of her face. As a matter of fact that’s what we named her, blaze because of the white blaze on her face. As I got older my mom started to teacher me how to barrel race. She wasn’t to hard on me when I messed up because she new I was just a beginner. Mom started taking me to small play days so I could start slowing competing on barrels. Since I was so little I had straps on my saddle that kept me in the saddle, and from falling off. My horse took good care of me to. She never bucked with me kicked me, or tried to bite me.

Indian Horse is a novel by Richard Wagamese that beautifully explores the idea of family, and what it means to have people around you that make you feel at home. The reader is bombarded with an overwhelming sense of family and betrayal in the first few pages of the novel. As Richard Wagamese continues to write, one is able to see how safe Saul Indian Horse felt with his biological family, and he also shows how lost he felt without their love when he was taken to the Residential School. The school he was brought to was drained of all consensual love the moment it was open, and continued to fill the children with horrible feelings the entire time they were there. Indian Horse was unable to really feel as though he still had family while he was in the

“The Rocking-Horse Winner” by D.H. Lawrence is a very enthralling short story. Greed, among many other topics, stood out the most to me as I read this story. Paul's mother shows very little attention to her son or husband, but rather concentrates solely on money and is continuously looking for new ways to spend the money her family earns. Essentially, the money Paul makes from gambling goes directly to his mother, causing her to desire more and more money. It was apparent from the very beginning that the family did not have enough money to support the kind of lifestyle they wanted to live.

The story of “The Rocking-Horse Winner” is able to show how it contains elements that allow it transcend the bounds of known reality.

Horse Shows Some of the best times I have had have been at horse shows. I have been to several that are smaller, at other competitor’s barns, and some at big venues, such as the Florida State Fairgrounds. One of the smaller shows was at the West Coast Morgans’ facility and I won two blue ribbons, a trophy, and a red ribbon, which is for 2nd place. I rode a beautiful bay American Saddlebred mare named Miley, but her registered name is Intoxicating Gypsy.
The only means by which one could attain complete happiness is to avoid living in constant expectation of it. It’s the expectation that causes our unhappiness and consequent bitterness about life. [Mohammed Naseehu Ali] Expectations aren’t often chosen, yet they’re assigned to each, and every person; whether, they’re from parents, teachers or even friends. All these people want the best for us, but sometimes in the process they can become overbearing and irksome. In D.H Lawrence's tragic short story The Rocking Horse Winner it’s prevalent that the writing is strongly influenced by the writer's outlook on societal issues, and how the writer may be resentful of expectations placed in his own life.
Horses are a majestic creature that have been used since the dawn of time developing from wild animals, to farm workers, to warriors on the battlefield, to carriage pullers, show horses, and pets. Horses have had many opportunities and the ability to work alongside people playing a vital role in many different tasks they have been assigned to.

I eventually got better and we moved out to the street in front of the house, I loved how it felt to ride the bike on the pavement.

They were testing my new pellet gun on a near rock sticking out of the water. Almost every shot was hitting and it was now my turn. I lifted the gun, looked down the sights and shot.
