RedBird Reader Feature by Krisin Crumrine

I go horseback riding every Wednesday morning. I take the S.O.A.R. bus all the way to East Peoria. At the barn I ride different kinds of horses. Phoenix, Trigger, and Charlie are the three horses I have been riding. I am riding Charlie right now. I have been rid- ing Charlie for two years. He is all brown with black hair.  All in all, I have been horseback riding for seven years. I signed up for horseback riding and different activities through

S.O.A.R. I have been a participant in S.O.A.R. (special opportunities available in recreation) since I was a little girl. Growing up, my most favorite animals were horses, and unicorns. I love them so much because they are nice animals and they are beautiful. When riding a horse I feel relaxed. But mostly importantly I feel like a princess when I ride horses.
