Every time I ride with the Forsbergs I have a blast, but I remember one particular time that my dad and I went to their house to ride, and I was having a few problems with my horse. Me and Melinda went and loped circles, played follow the leader, and made up our own silly, yet interesting games while Jack and my dad did what they do best... Talk. As I was walking past them I heard Jack say to my dad that every horse has the potential to do or be something great, but we have to believe they can do it and give them the opportunity to try. My words aren't exact but that is the lesson I gained from hearing it. As I thought about what he had said I realized that I didn't believe in my horse or myself and I was holding him back. I let go of my doubts and kept riding with Melinda. After a few times of trying to accomplish what I had set out to do, I had success. It was a great day, not only because I got to ride with, and learn from three of the greatest horsemen I knew, but because I got to ride with, and learn from three of my best friends.
