I remember the first time I got on a horse. I was two years old and we were watching a friend of the family ride. My mom agreed to let me take a short ride with the friend and that was it! I was horse crazy. From then on, I drove my parents insane begging for a horse.
When 1 was four years old, I had Selective Mutism (缄默症). This is a rare childhood disorder in which children stop speaking in certain social situations. I spoke normally to my parents, my brother and certain other people, but was silent at school and in social situations. I went days, weeks, months without a sound at school.
I suffered silently through school until I was ten years old when one in a long string of psychologists had an idea. One day I was asked by the psychologist what I wanted more than anything in the world. He explained that I was going to be given an opportunity to work for it. I couldn’t believe my good luck, but I could not answer. Finally. I was permitted to whisper the answer in my mother’s ear. “A horse.” was all I could say.
I was to get a little horse, but I had to live up to my end of the bargain. I had a chart of weekly tasks I had to accomplish. I had to answer the phone five times per weck, make five phone calls to my friends, say one word to my teacher at school and the list went on. For a child with Selective Mutism, saying one word to someone can be like climbing Mount Everest.
I did everything that was asked of me and the day came when my parents found a local riding stable that had the perfect pony. His name was Sequoia, so perfect that I fell in love with him immediately. We boarded him and I began taking lessons. It truly was a dream come true.
