happysparrow - Maverick - Male (FtM) favorite camp activity: Maverick's eyes were glittering as he hopped out of the stables, grinning from ear to ear as he rushed different tack and equipment back and forth. It was finally one of the days that the group would be horseback riding! Of course, the camp had a few other activities such as crafts or hikes, but the one that Maverick loved and looked forward to the most every year was horseback riding. He was one of the few Kalons there who actually
knew how to ride horses, and although it was tough to transition from riding English to Western, he had a lot of fun learning all the different tips and tricks. With this in mind, he scooped up the needed tack and made his way to the stall that held his favorite horse. A small chestnut mare, the perfect size for someone as short as Maverick, and with a nature as gentle as her rider's. They were like two peas in a pod, and that certainly made every trail ride that much better for Maverick. That was another reason he loved the sport so much - the little mare seemed to understand him better than anyone. She was able to pick up on his slightest emotions, and either rejoice with him or give him little nudges and whinnies to try to cheer him up. Every year, it was a chance for Maverick to really feel freed from anything that had been troubling him. Work, school, social life, family ... everything melted away as he rode. (270/300)
