This photo is my best childhood memory. It was the day I fell in love with horses. I was in pre-school and it was picture day. A photographer had brought a pony and a little western outfit for all the kids to take their picture in.
I still remember seeing the pony, how my face just lit up with pure joy. I want to one day have a little pony for my kids to grow up with. My mom wishes she had gotten me into horses at a younger age. I plan to do that with my kids.
This sweet little pony turned me into a horse loving girl who grew into doing 4-H, riding lessons, leasing horses, IEA riding team, IHSA riding team, camp wrangler, and now I will be co-running a riding camp this summer with my close friend.
Whenever I don't feel positive, I always look at this picture to perk my mood up and reminds me of who I am and what made me become the person I am to this very day.
