Foster Care

When I was in second grade, my dad eventually started to abuse me and my brothers. We went to foster, but I had fun because they had 7 horses: 3 pintos(Dusty, Kissy,and Kissy's foal Sassy), 2 palominos(,Meg and Whiskey), some brown horse(Patsy)and I can't remember the other horse. Anyway, I  rode Whiskey when we practiced for the shows and when we went for long rides. Occasionally, I rode Meg for fun, but I couldn't ride her in her shows because Angie said that she was too fast for me. Angie was the one that owned Meg and she was also my foster parent's daughter ( Bill and Shelly). Bill owned Dusty, I think, Angie's husband, Will, owned Patsy, and Shelly owned the others. I rode Whiskey in the horse shows and got seven trophies: First place high point Youth Western Pleasure and Youth Western Pleasure,second place barrel racing and flag pick up, third place pole bending, fourth place????????? Without looking at them, I can't remember. I've got six upstairs in my room and the other one is sitting on the bookshelf right above me, but I don't don't feel like looking. I'll get back to you on that. Anyway, my brother Aaron got one trophy for Barrel Pick-up and this kid named Lloyd got three trophies. Apparently I was better than they were and I've never been on a horse before foster care. I think I just had a connection with Whiskey. I had so much fun that I didn't want to leave. I even started third grade in foster care, but I left in the middle of the year because mom got custody. I haven't done anything like that since. Just around the arena about three times at Giddy Up 'N Go. I've been going there for two years and I've only ridden three or four times, but it wasn't actual riding. Back in Foster Care, before my last few event, all the kids sang Tim McGraw's "I Like It, I Love It" at Will and Angie's wedding. I had a blast and I wish I could go back, but I can't. My new life is with my mom and step-dad in Lawton, OK until I graduate in '07. Then I could start barrel racing again.1
