Getting Shiloh

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted a horse. One day, I didn’t have to wish for one. It was then that my life changed…My Aunt owned 2 horses named Jericho and Shiloh. One day, my Aunt was riding and the horse threw her. The doctors told her she couldn’t ride anymore. She knew I loved horses and Shiloh was perfect for me. She called my mom and asked her if I could have him. My mom had said yes and about a week later, we went to her house and brought him home. I loved him so much. We went home and we put him in his paddock. He basically was just settling down for the night. The next day, I went out to see him and I could tell that that was the beginning of a new friendship. About 2 years later, Jericho had passed away. My Aunt was upset but eventually she was ready to get another horse. She had bought 2 horses because her husband wanted one too so that he could ride with her. Can’t wait until the next visit!
