riding club. when cowboy and i entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly “shown the gate”. i knew nothing could turn cowboy into a beauty. my only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. i chose the jumping race.for the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then i would walk cowboy home, totally exhausted.all

all out while i watched becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.my turn finally came. at the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and i turned him toward the finish line.no cheers filled the air. the end of our run was met with surprised silence. cowboy and i had beaten becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!i gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. at thirteen, i realized that no matter what the odds, id always come out a winner if i wanted something badly enough to work for it. i can be the owner of my destiny(命运).32why did the author like cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness?a. because she was sad and lonely
