I have a horse. It is a Arabian. His name is Toby he has a tan mane and tail with a
             white body that has spots on it. Toby is a strong horse and has a very loving and caring
             personality but yet he is sometimes competitive. He stays in a barn on my fathers ranch.
             My fathers ranch is located in Napa Valley. This ranch grew up with a lot of life,
             happiness and love and we all plan on keeping it that way.
             I use my horse for many different things. Quite often it is my transportation to and from
             many different places. During the summer and early fall I use my horse for barrel racing
             and to use around the farm. Everyone, including Toby, plays a big roll on the farm when it

             considering there twice as big as you. A lot of people are afraid of horses for many
             different reasons, but I think if you give it enough time and effort you just might have a
             This horse is both a pet and my friend. I have always loved horses and loved to ride them. I
             feel that my horse is like a companion to me. Sometime when I feel lonely I walk out at
             night to the cool damp barn to see my horse and just let him know what I am thinking
             about knowing that he's just as much of a person to tell my problems and concerns to.
             Having Toby has meant a lot to me. When I ride him I feel like I am totally free and have
             no where to be but just to ride around. We have had are good and bad times but I will
             never forget how much fun I have had raising a horse like him.
