HORSEBACK RIDING

When I got to the barn
I knew I was there
because I could smell the horses.

When I went a year ago
I put the saddle on the horse.
I led the horse around,
then I got on,
and went for a 2-hour trail ride.
The horse's name was Tricky.

The person who I went with
was Carmen.
She knows my grandma.
She rode a horse named Dustin.
Her horse was ready
so she helped me.
