I began horseback riding at age four, and my equestrian pursuits have not only shaped who I am as an individual, but have kept me grounded. Working as a groom to afford riding lessons instilled a work ethic within me that has contributed tremendously to my academic successes. Rescuing a horse at a young age, and caring for him no matter the circumstance, has given me a strong sense of commitment that translates to all avenues of my life. Besides shaping my character, being entirely responsible for my horse throughout college urged me to find a productive balance in my life. Learning to make time for hobbies and other activities outside of academics has greatly improved my overall well-being, and is a lesson that will be invaluable as I pursue
For many people, there is only one reason to go to an amusement park: the roller coaster. Some people call it the "scream machine," with good reason. The history of this ride reflects a constant search for greater and more death-defying thrills.
“All eighth graders to the SLV track” called the muffley voice over the loudspeaker. As soon as I heard this voice I shuddered with great anxiety and fear. How could I possibly race while I was shaking and nervous? “Come on, the race is about to start!” shouted my friend Addy. The smell of burnt rubber tarred my lunges and made it hard to breath, but as I looked farther from the track I saw myself standing among the great Redwoods and Oaks. Trees that would tower over me with wisdom and age. The sound of cheers wiped away my vision while I slowly walked toward the track. There was nothing that could stop me from getting off this horrid track and running into a mirage of beauty.
The Ride is the story of the heinous and gruesome murder of ten year old, Jeffrey Curley, a case that is familiar to many in the Massachusetts area. The book works its way from the grisly crime to the years afterward. It focuses on the family of Jeffrey, heavily weighted on the life of Cambridge Firefighter Bob Curley, Jeffrey’s father. Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari, both from Jeffrey’s neighborhood were convicted of the murder. Within this essay I will demonstrate from The Ride the relationship between reporting and suffering that may have been brought on for the crime victims of this case, the relationship between the victim profiles and the victim family profiles, the role in which the family may have played in the
I believe that true equestrians are a special kind of people, they look out for each other and really want the best for each other. As I look back on the many people that have helped and guided me over the years, I too want to do that for the equestrians in my life now. I strive to be a positive, motivated rider who is always there to help. I think having the privilege of caring for my own horses has taught me a lot about responsibility.

I was able to see girls run the 400 meter dash and my coach told me while sitting in the bleachers that I won’t have to be watching my race because I will be running on the track next year. After state, AAU track was right around the corner. My goal for the summer was to beat my personal record which was a 1:01.02. For AAU we only had practice twice a week and the rest of the days we were expected to practice on our own. My AAU track coach reminded me that I can count on him if I ever needed anything and he believes in me if nobody else does. Having a good support system from my coach and teammates makes the process easier for achieving
“ It is also the only sport which involves two athletes: horse and rider. The relationship and mutual respect built up between the two is key to a successful partnership.” (International Equestrian Federation). Horseback riding is yourself along with a thousand pound animal underneath you. You and your horse have to constantly communicate with each other at all times but it’s not the communication you would think. You need to communicate
Horseback riding has shaped me into the person I have become. It is not only a sport that is undermined, but it is a passion overlooked by many of the people who surround me. Being an equestrian has given me the courage I once lacked, numerous friendships unimaginable, and the ambition I have to continue this love through work.
One day me and Ashton were dirt biking. I was beating Ashton all day. Ashton got so mad that he clipped my handlebars. I fell face first on the ground hitting my head so hard that I had to go to the clinic. But it was so bad that they thought I broke my neck. At first they were going to send me in an ambulance to Stanford Hospital. But then they thought I had broken my neck so they wanted me to fly in a helicopter all the way to Sanford hospital. But I didn't so my dad just took me home. Well back to the RV. When we came back I was still the best one there besides the adults. Booyah . Ashton got really mad. It was a really fun day after all.
When I ride, I feel free, confident, and happy. I would ride almost every day, I enjoyed the sweat horse smell. I could not get enough of it. I would go home and tell my parents how much I loved riding. I told them how much I loved Lucie and how I wish I could be with her twenty four seven. I would even ask my parents repeatedly to skip school and go riding because I learned so much from my horse. Lucie became my best friend, not one person on Earth could compare to her. There is a saying “ horses aren't my whole life… they make my life whole.” The quote could not fit how I feel about horses any
First of all, horseback riding allows me to bond with my horse. Riding bareback is a way to balance on the horse so you don’t fall off. Running barrels and poles are fun because it can be exciting, energy rush, and sometimes it can stressful because you have to concentrate on not knocking down a barrel or pole and getting the fastest time. Spending time with my horse is fun because I can pratice, go for a short ride, give him a bath, clean his stall, brush him off, get all the knots out of his mane and tail, and clean his hooves. Trail riding is fun because you get to explore nature, see animals sometimes, spend time with my mom, get some fresh air, and most all just have fun and loosen up. Rodeo is a way to make new friends and gets your horse use to bulls and being in a close area to go to the arena and run the pattern. That’s why horseback riding is important to me.
I have come to love bicycles in the course of the past year. I am especially fond of mountain bikes, including my own. Riding it opens up a whole new world of opportunities and challenges for me. I am still fairly fresh to the whole mountain biking scene, so I push myself to become better with more experience. Riding is an outlet; it is something I can channel pent up energy through. I love the sport because it is a full body, soul, and mind experience that affects all five of the senses.
