Personal Narrative-Summary And Analysis

There is a trail down the road in Delaware where I enjoy taking my dog for a walk. It is a beautiful, five-mile loop traversing cornfields, thick patches of forest, steep hills and flowing streams; a wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the suburban lifestyle and spend some time amongst the peacefulness of nature. It is not a complete escape, however, for I am not the only person that knows of the trail- it seems to also be a favorite of horseback riders. Often times I will encounter a rider or two at some point during my walk and, without fail, I will be in awe of the size and majesty of the horse. What an incredible, gentle beast it is. Standing next to a horse, you cannot help but gawk at the bulging, toned muscles and long, agile legs. It is truly an athlete with a rare combination of strength and speed. Yet, they are gentle and kind and have therefore been joined at the hip with humans; today, nearly all horses have been domesticated. So I find myself

It is an eight-session program that is two hours long. The first session they have the horse choose them and they have to choose the horse back. That helps form a bond with that horse. The clients will be asked to pick out a horse that they believe represents them. Then they will be asked choose that particular horse. Normally the reason that they give the instructor is how they see themselves. Next, they will be asked what horse they want to see themselves as in the future and

Welcome to my senior project portfolio. I was to learn about natural horsemanship skills and horse care by Mary Tyler, a volunteer coordinator at Sunrise Horse Rescue, who has dedicated about 11 years of her life to working with horses. It was easy asking Mary to be my mentor because I had volunteered at this rescue twice throughout high school. She would be mentoring me through the “Horsemanship and horse care world” accompanied by the horses that were sanctioned at Sunrise. Mary, having had plenty of horse work experience, took me under her wing and promised to show me as much basic knowledge that I needed to make this project successful.

The lake glistened before me as my mom and I pulled into Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp just outside Twin Lakes Michigan. I had been accepted into the International Youth Symphony Orchestra program where after spending a week at the camp the entire orchestra would be heading off on a six week European Tour to share our musical talents and American culture with another part of the world. I knew traveling to a different continent would give me further insight as to who I was a person, but did not imagine the people I would meet would impact me as much as they did.

I have met some very stubborn horses that years down the road I discovered had actually taught me so much more than any other horse ever would. That is what influenced me to take on the opportunity of buying and training a three-year-old unbroken arabian. He has come to teach me not only things about riding but also life-lessons. I have gained patience, trust and understanding from him. He is now six years old and despite the fact that some days I felt as if we would never get anywhere in our training he is now an excellent horse. Taking an animal that has never had a person on it before and making it completely calm and even excited to work with a person on it’s back is an incredible thing and I am happy to have been able to experience this.

Learning to master the horse increases the rider's self-esteem and confidence. Interacting with and controlling the horse enhances focus, decision-making skills, and effective verbal and nonverbal communication ("Why the Horse?"). Riders may become very satisfied and self-confident after successfully completing a task set by the instructor of the hippotherapy session. This feeling of confidence improves the rider's overall mood and makes them enjoy horseback riding even more.

In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, the story’s main themes deal with knowledge versus ignorance. The story tells a tale of a group of people have been imprisoned in a cave since birth and know nothing of the world. Their “knowledge” of the world comes from shadow puppets. The keepers use shadow puppets until one of the keepers release a prisoner. He leaves the cave and becomes exposed to the real world.

I have been tossing up two ideas for my main focus. They are, teaching the readers about horses and showing the bond my sister has created with her horse. I am leaning more towards showing the bond, because it is a beautiful thing. I hope to provide readers with a first person look into this experience. I will provide this with dialogue between my sister and I, and through my own interactions with the horses.

Audrey Hepburn has once said in her lifetime,“as you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” Seeing those words cover my webpage, I perceived that though Audrey Hepburn and I might not have much in common, we both hold a similarity. That similarity is finding great importance in helping others, and that’s where my passion comes about.

For the past few years, I have been volunteering at a nearby lesson barn. My tasks usually consist of removing manure from the pens, refilling water tanks, cleaning out the barn, and checking the fence line for repairs. When there is time left, however, I help train a pony that will, one day, be used for lessons. During these training sessions, my instructor teaches me the basics of liberty work so that the pony learns to both relax around people and how to interact with them. These lessons create a memorable outdoor experience for me because, in addition to helping my instructor, I am helping a pony become less fearful of people that interact with him on a regular basis. The skills I have gained from the liberty work lessons has also encouraged me to continue my education of liberty work and to share my findings with others so that they may understand their horses on a deeper level.

Learning from others is a good way to learn yourself. You can watch their mistakes and learn how you can fix them yourself Riding a horse is more than just sitting there, its connecting with your horse through your aids. Aids are the most important for connecting with your horse. You have to communicate in a way that the horse understands. Most horses are trained to respond to aids like your leg, your hands, the reins, and your voice.

“The air of heaven is that which blows between a horse’s ears” (Arabian Proverb). The exhilarating feel of mane in my hands, four beats moving gracefully under me, and the breathtaking wind that soon rushes by prove the great and true wisdom captured in this aphorism. Horses are as much a part of my identity as my own name. No feeling in the world approaches the euphoria I feel when I am one with the horse, appreciating the rhythmic movement of such a powerful animal as we soar over a jump. I am never so at peace as when I am with the horse, feeling its soft nose on my shoulder or its dynamic motion under me. Horses occupy my everyday daydreams and my greatest aspirations. However, I completely suppressed the acknowledgement of this passion

because of Lemuel Oldham who refused to see Billy Faulkner as a relevant husband to marry to his lovely daughter .Estelle and a young lawyer Cornell Franklin married in 1918 with her mother’s wish.That was the first major influential blow to Billy Faulkner at nineteen.Estelle’s marriage was of course arranged but it is also interesting that why then she accepted and wore a ring that he hhad given her with an F carved in gold.Her disloyalty impressed young Faulkner.He was so demoralized and devastated that he did not attend Estelle’s wedding ,his brother John Faulkner noted in his memoir.Billy from that time began to occupy himself with writing poetry,drawing sketches .He knew that was the high time for him left the town as soon as possible.
