My grandmother sent me home to bring in the rest of the horses. I really didn't want to leave her but I knew the work had to be done. I went home and finished the work, by the time I got back to the hospital it was just past ten PM. When I got there the doctor sent her home with me. “ Drink lots of fluids, keep the ibuprofen in your system, and don't be working with your horses anytime soon.” The doctor said as we left. We made sure we listened and she was back out and working in no

    Most people do not understand what it is like to get ridiculed for something that you love.

Working hard to become better at something is not easy, but the benefits can be tremendous. I personally have encountered this struggle.…
