I have many hobbies such as barrel racing, playing music, and doing small crafts. Whenever it gets warm outside, I like to ride my horse bare-back around the arena, or walk down to the creek. Shows are another fun activity I get to do with him. I've even won some money off of him! In the future, I would love to learn to goat-tie and be able to attend a rodeo. The best part about having a horse is always having a cuddle buddy. I am a very affectionate person, and my horse loves hugs, so everything works out! I've never attempted running him bare-back, but saddle is fun enough for right now. My best memory of him was in the pasture. He was laying down and I ran and jumped on his back. He continued to lay on the ground, so I got off and sat down next to him. I leaned against him and just enjoyed the moment!
Another one of my favorite hobbies is playing music with my dad. My dad and I preform in my church about once a month and we are known as the "special special" music. I first started learning to play guitar when I was ten. I enjoy playing, but I wouldn't say I'm passionate about it. Every now and then I'll learn a song and preform it for my family or friends. Playing with the family band is the most fun though! My cousins get together and we play at the family reunions and birthdays! My family is really close, so family gatherings are the best! It also helps that my dad is my music teacher, so I don't have to pay anything.
I love to preform! I've done five plays in my middle school career. I've really enjoyed all of them, and it has helped me make a lot of new friends. The amount of makeup we put on is ridiculous, but it's still fun to hang out with a great group of people. Cast parties are the best! We dance and play games, and we get all of the left over food and drinks. It's always sad to end a show though.
