Month: December 2023

I started riding when I was six years old. I continued my horseback journey, until covid. After Corona virus I started horseback riding again, eventually getting my own horse! My horse’s name is Firefly, although I can’t ride him anymore he still helped me a lot with learning different skills. My family bought a farm a few years after buying my first horse. Right now I am riding at a barn called Ascend, where I ride a pony named Peaches. Soon, I will go back to riding at my own barn. As well as weekly lessons I do a IEA. IEA is a riding facility that trains riders two times a month and goes to horse shows every week. IEA is great if you want to continue riding in the future.  IEA is full of fun and nice people from ages 12-18.

Here are some photos of my horse! (Firefly)

Thanksgiving is a fun holiday with great food and is celebrated by many. What I love most about thanksgiving is that my family always celebrates it differently each year. This year my family got together at my mom’s house and invited my aunt and grandma, my big sister also came to visit all the way from Chicago. Even though it was a small get together I will always remember it. The best part of having a different thanksgiving each year is the different memories I have. Last year we celebrated at a farm, the year before that we went to the mountains which made great memories for me and my family.

Things I’m thankful for:

1. My family (including my pets)

2. My wonderful friends

3. Having a roof over my head

4. Being able to get a good education

5. Being able to go in my kitchen and have food

6. Being able to participate in activity’s

7.  Access to doctors and health care

8. Having siblings to talk to

9. having parents that care for me

10. Having access to clean and healthy water

The History of Thanksgiving: in 1621 a meal was shared with  the Wampanoag people and the pilgrims, this meal represented peace between the two groups of people. Since then we have celebrated what we now call Thanksgiving.
