My Perfect Moment

Hey guys

I hope you are all enjoying this heat, it seems we have skipped Spring and gone straight into Summer. I definitely think that cold front will creep up on us suddenly.

The other day someone asked me a very good question, “If I were to redo any day in my life, which day would it be”. At the time I didn’t know the answer to the question, but last night I was going through photos on my phone and I came across a picture that reminded me of a special moment that I had.

My parents and I went on holiday to Kaapsehoop to visit a friend of theirs. We went on a trail ride and I am petrified of horses but I had always wanted to go on a trail ride and face that fear. When I got on the horse I was shaking from head to toe because I was so nervous, I almost got off the horse.

Before I got off the horse, a man came up to me, he was a horse whisperer. I thought horse whisperers only existed in movies like Heartland, but he proved me wrong. He walked up to me and I immediately felt calmer. He told me to let go of the horse and put my arms out, giving all of the control to the horse. I didn’t want to do it at first because I like to be in control of what I do as a sense of security, but I decided to go against my better judgment and did what he told me to.

That feeling of giving up control and putting all of my trust in the horse was the best feeling ever and definitely one I would go back to. We just walked around in a circle with me letting go and then we went on our trail ride. We went on a trail ride every day while we were there and I had a specific horse that I rode.

What day or moment in your life would you go back to.
