Show Name:
Texas Rose
Barn Name:
Becca
Gender:
Mare
Eye Color:
Brown
Personality:
Becca is rebellious. She always has been. She can't be easily ridden, and is often seen dragging stable boys around the paddock on the end of her harness rope. Young children annoy her, they are too whiny and too easy to accidentally hurt. And to her, teenage boys are obnoxious, and she doesn't care for them either. So instead she likes rebellious girls, who will stand up to her and challenge her. She is dangerous and fearless, the few that can ride her are often thrown off, but if you can stay on, she is an amazing horse to ride. She is a hunter/jumper, and is fast, graceful, intelligent. And whatever you do, don't get between her and her sweet apples!

Happiest Memory:
(Sorry, it's a little long, but I promise it's worth it!)
My happiest memory comes from a school-trip to an amusement park. I'm afraid of rollercoasters and amusement park rides in general, so obviously it wasn't my first choice. But somehow my parents convinced me to go, and so I did.
One of my best friends went with me to the amusement park, and the first thing we did as soon as we got in was to eat a massive bowl of ice cream from Coldstone Creamery. I am a huge lover of ice cream, so of course that was fun, but then my friend mentioned the rides. I had told her before that trip that I was afraid, but she didn't really think I was as scared as I was when we started to walk around the park looking for something to do. Finally, after searching for about a half hour, we found this little river raft ride. It seemed simple enough, the scariest part seemed to be the big drop at the end. So finally after a whole lot of convincing, she got me in the waiting line for the ride. After about a twenty minute wait, it was our turn to board the ride.
As you probably know, most river raft rides are continuous, so while you are boarding it it keeps moving. So my friend gently pushed me into the raft, and got into the seat in front of me. It was a simple three-seat boat, so no one else was with us as we began to ride, which was probably a good thing, because I began to freak out. As we inched along in the water, I scrambled to get out of the raft, crying and screaming. Unfortunately, by that point we had started up the ramp that would begin the ride. My friend was shocked at how afraid I was, and quickly began to distract me with fun questions about what I plan on doing in the future. It calmed me down, and as I began to relax, we came upon the first small drop in the ride. I of course began to freak again, and she quickly began to soothe my fears by singing popular pop songs obnoxiously loud and out of tune as we rode down the falls.
So after we got off the ride, of course I wanted to go on again, realizing how fun it was. And so we went on again two more times. My friend tried to convince me to go on something else, and I refused, so we ended up just wandering around the park, looking for something new to do.
After walking a little ways, we came upon a guy friend of ours (my major crush). His friend apparently didnt want to do anything he did, so he ended up joining us. I offered to have him ride with us on the river raft again and he agreed. This time, as we rode down the man-made river, we all sang together, all obnoxiously loud and out of tune. After that, we rode the ride about five more times, my fears completely gone as we laughed up above the trees.
Sunset soon came, and it was time to ride the bus home, about a four-hour trip back. We had to be back at the bus by eight o'clock, and we would get in major trouble if we weren't there. After our last ride on the rafts, we were already going to be late. So we all ran to the parking lot, me being half dragged/ half carried by my crush to the bus. We made it just in time.
So as we rode back home, the three of us were exhausted. We all sat in the very back of the bus together, and as the last of the day's sunlight drifted away, my best friend fell asleep beside me. As the whole bus of kids fell asleep, my crush who had been sitting on the other side of me leaned over and put his head between his hands on his knees, and began to fall asleep. Uncomfortable, I finally asked if I could lay on his back and sleep. He said yes. So I quickly drifted off to the quiet, strong beat of my crushes' heart. Best day ever.
After an hour or so had passed, my best friend woke me up. She grabbed my shoulder in her sleep and yelled, "Polar Bear!", which scared me half to death, but I was too tired to really do anything about it. As she fell into deeper sleep, I gently sat up and took off my sweater and layed it on her because she was shivering from the cold wind coming in from the open windows of the bus. I was warm enough from the heat coming off of my crush as he slept anyways. I drifted into sleep again when she woke me up again, this time awake enough to see the light from a football field we were passing, but not enough to be actually awake. After one more sleeping best friend experience, I finally got some good sleep.
We arrived back at the school at twelve o'clock that night, and I woke up to my crush waking up underneath my head. I jumped up as the bus lights came on, hoping no one noticed I had been sleeping on him. Fortunately, no one did.
It had been the best day of my life, and I will remember it forever, I'm sure.
