First Part of Sonny Memoir - More to come:)!

Hi!  Here is the first part of my Rough draft on my "Sonny Memoir"~

         My name is Lauren.  I am a Horse Crazy 12 year old Christian girl.  I became interested in horses at around 2 or 3 years old.  I began taking lessons at age 4.  I have shoulder length brown almost black hair, lots of freckles, green, blue, and brown eyes, and am 5 and a half feet tall.  I had been asking my parents for a horse since before I remembered.  Getting a horse meant a lot to me, and my wish was finally fulfilled on a cold January afternoon.

As my parents, my sisters, and I were driving home from church on a Sunday afternoon I noticed something strange.  We were turning into the neighborhood that the barn is at.  I asked my parents why we were here and they replied, "We just need to drop a check off to Jamie".  Well when we turned into the barn I noticed that there was a bay horse who hadn’t been there before so I asked my trainer, Jamie if she got a new horse and she smiled and said "No Lauren that is your new horse Sonny".  I ran over to he was standing.

        As I wrapped my arms around his neck and breathed in the scent of horses and felt his baby fuzz on my cheek I had this bubbly feeling steal over me.  When I finally let go of him my face was beaming as I thanked my parents over and over again for giving him to me.  I then looked him over and saw that he was beautiful rich brown in color with black mane, tail, muzzle, lower legs, and around the outside of his ears, a snip of white on his nose, a white sock on his right back leg, and a white teardrop on his forehead. I wrapped my arms around his neck again and told him "I love you Sonny".  Then he snorted at me as if he was saying I love you to Lauren.  Finally a horse of my own.
