there was no need to fear it.

my hands became moist

just thinking about galloping infront of the stadium

for my first time

I did not want to share

this experience with anyone else.

"what if you fail?"

echoing through my mind

like an unwanted song.

to my horse it was nothing,

just one hoof in front of the other.

to me it was much more.

as if my life depended on it,

to keep balance on

 A GALLOPING HORSE

to not expose the fear

kept inside

This

that I can ride.

pounding my heals 

on each side of her ribs,

a cushion of air laid between

the saddle and me

a fast forward view

of everything but
