My name is Jenna. I live next to a horse farm. I spent almost every afternoon of my childhood looking at the _______ on the farm.

It was my 16th birthday last week. When my parents told me that they paid for me to take _______ lessons as a birthday gift, I was _______ . It was something I always dreamed of!

This morning, I went early to meet Sarah, my instructor（教练）. First, she showed me Oliver, a beautiful brown horse. “You have to be _______ because horses sometimes kick when they are afraid,” Sarah said. Then she helped me get on the horse.

“How great it is!” I thought to myself. But soon I began to feel _______ , “It is so high from up here, and Oliver walks so fast!” I cried to Sarah. She laughed and made Oliver walk _______ . A few minutes later, a car suddenly drove past quickly, and Oliver started to _______ . “Don’t worry. Oliver will stop running. Just wait and sit up straight,” Sarah told me.

Oliver slowed down and thankfully I didn’t _______ , so I started feeling better about riding. Oliver walked slowly and the rest of the lesson went well with no _______ . Last, Sarah showed me how to get off and put a carrot in my hand for Oliver. I __________ Oliver for a great ride. I think I’ll feel ready to ask Oliver to run next time.
