Somewhere behind the rider
you've become,
the hours of practice you've put in,
the coaches who pushed you,
the hard falls you've taken,
the money you've spent,
the miles you've hauled,
the sweat, the tears, the blood,
the blisters, the ripped jeans,
the lame horse,
the crazy horse,
the "are you serious?" horse,
and everything in between..
Somewhere behind all
that,
is the fearless kid who fell in
love with,
the sport, the horse, the
life,
and never looked
back.
