I remember the first time I got on a horse.When I was a little boy aged two, my mom agreed to let me take a short ride andthat was it! From then on, I drove my parents crazy begging for a horse.

When I was four, I had mutism,in which children stop speaking in certain social situations. I went days,weeks, months without a sound at school. At most, I might quietly whisper to afriend. I suffered silently through school until I was ten when a psychologist hadan idea. He asked me what I wanted more than anything else in the world. Heexplained I was going to be given a chance to work for that. And I waspermitted to whisper the answer in my mother’s ear, “A horse.”

I was to get a pony, but I hadto live up to my end of the bargain . I had a list of weekly tasks Ihad to finish. I had to answer the phone five times per week, something I hadnever done before. I had to say one word to my teacher at school and the listwent on. For a child with mutism, saying one word to someone can be likeclimbing Mount Qomolangma.
