Scene 14

I've had rocky mountain horses since I was 8 years old. My first Rocky Mountain was named Tea Rose that I got in 2011; who I showed till I was 10 years old and she taught me to ride. Since then I've had a ton of them go in and out of my barn. The first picture is of me getting her ready for our first trail ride ever. I was only 8 and she was only 3! The second photo is of us at our first big horse show!.
