Black Friday Adventure

Yesterday was Black Friday but my family instead of going shopping and trampling over people we went on an unexpected trip down to South Jordan with a friend, where for the first time we rode horses. It was the most incredible and exciting experience ever. Even though I know that since I am Mexican I should know how to ride horses, but I have never done it until yesterday. At first I was scared and I just pulled the pony that my little sisters enjoyed riding, however, our friend brought out his two other horses that are bigger and more beautiful. However, they look scarier up close and personal, the best part of the day was listening to my dad talk about his past and how much fun he had with his horse when he was younger even though that horse is dead, my dad still remembers all those memories from so long ago. He felt so alive, we could see it in his eyes, we could hear it in his laughter as well.

Picture of the family except for Yazmin she is taking the picture :)
First time Vicky is on a horse, she was ecstatic.
Pony's name is "Algodon" aka Cotton

My brother and I on the two black horses
I felt more comfortable on the one that my brother was
riding instead of the one that I am riding. 

This was my second time and I was still scared but I
faced my fears and kept riding which was really fun.

This was the first horse I rode and I was really scared and
yelling at the top of my lungs, and my family just kept laughing
at me. This horse may look calm but he was very rough to
ride because he still got crazy when he saw mares. 

Anyway, we had a blast and we really hope to go see and ride the horses again some time soon. Hopefully some day I will be able to own a horse and ride it everyday and have my kids start riding from when they are little so that they are not scared of them like my siblings and I were yesterday since we have never ridden or seen a horse so up close. It was fun and scary at the same time, it was one of the best experience I have ever  had. I really enjoyed it, being in rhythm with the horse and its trot felt amazing.

However, the second time I was getting off was probably the best part of the day because as I was getting off  with the help of my dad he decided to hold the saddle in place into of holding me and I felt on my bum, which was pretty hilarious since there was dirt everywhere and poop here and there, but I had a lot of fun and with the fall we just laughed for 3 minutes straight. Anyway it was fun and hopefully we do it again very soon. :)

*Anyway later this week I will be doing posts on everything that has happened to me since July. Until next time.
