Whenever anyone asks me what my favorite animal is, I always say, “The horse!”
I don't have a 1 of my own. Horses are very expensive. It's expensive to buy one, and it's also very 2 to feed one. You pay for its food and health. If you live on a farm or other big pieces of land, you can 3 your horse there. But if you don't have a place big enough for a horse, you have to pay to keep it 4 else.
We're very lucky to live near a horse stable(马厩). I go there on weekends sometimes and 5 the trainers exercise the horses. All of the horses need a lot of exercise in order to stay 6. Most of the horses are used for riding. I think it is the easiest and the most fun. It's nice to go out into the 7 or along the beach with a horse.
One of the trainers on the horse farm is named John. John used to ride horses 8 competitions. Now, he doesn't compete anymore. He takes care of the horses, and he 9 a riding teacher, teaching some of the students to be better 10 so that they can enter competitions with their horses. John lets me help him brush the horses and tells me a lot about 11. One reason why I really like horses is that they 12 as many personalities as people do. They can't talk, but they can tell you how they feel with their body language. For example, 13 their ears are forward, and their tails are relaxed, it means they are 14 and excited.
John says that maybe, when he gets 15 older, he could get a job at the stable. Then he could be around horses all the time. He's trying to learn about horses as much as he can now. He would love to have a job like that!
