I was told the Untruth

Me leading Choco back to the barn.  photo cred: Dad. 

Hi, this is a horrible tale, not a horses tail, but a sad story. I have been riding  for the past 4 years and I love it. I love riding it is my world. Horses are my life, they mean so much to me. I used to ride at Hodges barn and that is my home  learned to ride there and I wish I could have stayed there longer, but everything just fell apart. Let's start out like this, there is a manger at the barn, her name is Liz and there is something called a barn rat, there are 4 of them and 4 of them only. All barn rats do is they help around the barn, they get assigned  horse they ride, work and have fun!  Well for 2 years I wanted to be a barn rat and finally my last couple of weeks there I was, but that did not last long. Frank the owner did not know there was about 7 barn rats and Liz did not want him to know, well when he found out he got so mad he said we can only have  4 barn rats and you know that so you choose 4 and the rest go home.  So, she choose 4 and it was not me, but she made a huge lie about it and this is what happened. She pulled my mom to the side and told her that she is going to dental school ad JB my instructor was leaving for college and Frank is not doing anything so there is no one to take care of the kids. Then she started crying and was acting like she was dying and she said that she would miss the farm so much and I don't doubt that at all . She said that there was not gonna be any barn rats and Frank was going bankrupt, and that he was going to quit lessons,barn rats, events and he is making Hodges farm a private farm. Plus, I'm growing too advanced for their teachings, so I might wanna leave or find some other place to go ride.

Then my heart BROKE IN PIECES. I felt horrible for days. I went to look at 2 barns and found 1 that I really liked.  That is where I ride now but now that I look back on what happened, it sorta makes me laugh even some times I will text my ex-instructor and we will talk for a while. I just want to go back because I did not get to say goodbye, but home can't be home for too long, some things or better of with out saying goodbye.  It may hurt, but saying goodbye will just hurt more. Then like 3 days later my instructor calls my mom and says she needs to talk and turns out that or the past 4 to 5 weeks were total lies. There is already 4 barn rats Liz, chose them and not me, but I'm not mad at her for that I have no reason to be. I am mad at her for lying to me. I am very proud of JB, she was the JB I knew she would be. The smart, funny, honest, enjoyable JB I knew. I am enjoying my new barn but I will always miss home. In the picture below that is JB and that is me riding Choco the most advanced horse there. Choco is pretty much her horse. Before JB worked with him, he was a wild maniac and then after about a year of working he was able to be ridden for the more advanced riders. So JB is assigned to Choco to work with and ride. Just in case you were wondering Choco is a Rocky Mountain.  Home is now gone.

My dad made this picture of me riding Choco in August of 2010.  JB, my instructor looks on.
