HorsesWhenever anyone asks me what my favorite animal is, I always say, " Horses." I like almost all animals. 26___I don't have a horse of my own. Horses are very expensive. 27___You have to pay for their food, equipment, insurance, and health care, for example. If you live on a farm or other big piece of land, you can keep your horse there. But if you don't have a place that's big enough for a horse, you have to pay to keep itsomewhere else.28___ I go there on the weekends sometimes and watch the trainers exercising the horses. All of the horses need a lot of exercises in order to stay healthy, no matter what kind of riding they are used for. Most of the horses are used for trail(小径)riding, which I think is the easiest and the most fun. It's nice to go out into the woods or along the beach with a horse.One reason I really like horses is that they have as much personality as people do.They can't talk, but they can tell you what they are feeling with their body language. 29___Maybe, when I get a little older, I could get a job at the stable. 30___I'm trying to learn as much about horses as I can now, so that I'll be really qualified (有资格的). I would love to have a job like that.A.There I could be around horses all the time.

B.We're very lucky to live near a horse stable.

C.It's very expensive to buy one and to own one.

D.But horses have always been my very favorite animals.

E.My favorite horse"Vrana"is older than a lot of other horses.

F.For example, a horse is happy if its ears are forward and its tail is relaxed._____
