My most memorable and best experiences will stay in my mind for many years to come. For most people, horses are just animals that should only be used for racing, for money. Ever since I was only a few years old, horses have been my passion (酷爱之物). My dream was to ride a horse. When that time finally came near 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 looked around to find something that made my eyes twinkle (shine). I saw 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 animal. He was shining white, with a well-brushed tail.

Right away I thought that I could ride this horse. I turned the other way and went to search for my mom to get some money. I saw her buying groceries and led her to where the horse was. The owner was back and said 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 ask the man to let me ride the horse. He finally agreed for a high 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 beat of the horse’s trot (小跑) awakened all the senses in me and I knew I was the happiest little girl in Ukraine at that time. 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.

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 take part in show jumping. 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 animal truly have to bond.
