I recall the first time I learned to do show jumping (horses for those who are interested) the first time I came flying off and smacked straight into some wooden panels but I got up and got straight back on...I remember lining the horse up to the fence and just gritting my teeth as it's hooves went over the jump and didnt knock a single rail..woohoo I was so excited and my dad gave me this lovely necklace with a horses head on it...so beautiful.
I also recall writing my first piece of poetry dedicated to a lady I cared for who passed away...she was just phenomenal! A real animal lover and went out of her way to rescue animals from all kinds of situations even putting herself in danger. I was so glad to know her it was a real honour.
