My most memorable and best experience will stay in my mind for many years to come.For most people,horses are just animals,smelly beasts that should only be used for racing,for money.Ever since I was only a few years old,horses have been my passion.My dream was to ride a horse.When that time finally came to my anxious little life,my heart beat a thousand times a minute.
It was a warm summer day in Odessa,Ukraine,and we were at a park.My mom was buying several things for home while I wandered around to find something that made my eyes twinkle(闪烁).I spotted a figure from heaven:a four-legged beautiful animal was standing down the block,breathing heavily.I ran up to the horse,not even knowing how to pet it,just excited to see the most beautiful creature.He was shining white,with a well-brushed tail.He was playing with his bit and chewed on the reins.I could tell this horse was bored.Where was the owner? Right away I believed that I could ride this horse.I turned the other way and went to search for my mom to get some money.I spotted her buying groceries and dragged her to where the horse was.The owner was back and stated that it was his horse and I couldn’t ride it.A warm stream of tears flooded down my cheeks as my mom tried to convince(说服) the man to let me ride the horse.He finally agreed for a costly price.He taught me how to get on the horse and explained to me that it was important to keep heels down and arms steady.The gentle beat of the horse’s trot awakened all the senses in me as I bounced up and down on the saddle(鞍).I was the happiest little girl in Ukraine,having the time of my life.I began planning how I was going to buy a horse after I became a millionaire.Before I knew it,the ride was over.Surprisingly,I actually learned to control the horse and change the pace.
That day was probably the happiest time of my life.Most children wouldn’t have as much fun as I did.Several years later,after coming to America,I began to get involved(参与) in show jumping(超越障碍比赛).If it weren’t for that time in Ukraine,I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the most amazing sport,one where you and another creature truly have to bond.
