I have always loved horses, I have ridden them for years when I was a child. I was prob one of the craziest kids to get on a horse since the invention of Sugar! Nothing got between my horses and me...till college and financial independence.
Once I dropped out of College because of personal reasons, riding adventures became few and far between. The $45 lessons became unreasonably high and I never saw riding in my near future again. I moved to Los Angeles about a year later and realized that I could never own a horse unless I moved out of state. Heartbroken, I took on a job and continued my life out in Los Angeles.
Along came a boy.... (he wound up being a screwup, but at 23 I didn't know better) I moved to South Bay with him and was left alone in the house for weeks at a time. One day I was driving to attempt to go to the store, and took a wrong turn. The turn lead me to what looked like Small Town USA, but with trees and paths. I was in awe that something so wonderful was hidden in the busy county of LA. I took one more turn to get out of the town and find home, and I turned into a stable! It was a horse town! Nuzzled in South Bay was a perfect city that only dreams could make up. I was home.
As quickly as I could, I looked up a trainer on the hill and found a barn close to home. She threw me on a horse, expecting me to be rusty, and I was...but she had faith in me. Within months, I was jumping for the first time in my life! I was happy again!! I found a barn with wonderful girls (a few youngster boys that were adorable) and horses!!!
After a few months, my boss approached me, I was getting a raise! I was stoked! I could afford a horse for the first time in my life! I was so excited!!! My trainer and I were on the lookout!
