I survived horse back riding,
The critique and criticism that cut right through you,
The awful, intimidating instructions,
Hot days in heavy clothing,
Evil butterflies right before a show,

I survived losing a friend,
Her soft muzzle and shiny mane,
Always together, best friends forever,
But her owner had more control,
The wrong words were heard and fights began,

I never saw Sadie again.

Rididng horses used to be a huge part of my life but as with anything, there were many downsides to the sport.
