The Pony Riding

It was quite a shock to all of us including to me and Alvin when we saw the pony that Issac ride on was suddenly just kicking its legs and wanted to run away. I was stunned at the spot when I saw it and do not know how to react to that. The first thing that came into my mind was: Where is Alvin? How to help Issac?

What can I do is only stand there and I do not know what to do. My mind was blank at that instance. I saw the young men were trying to hold and control the pony, but the pony was trying to run to the field. As the pony was trying its way to run further, I was afraid that Issac would be fall off from the pony as he was almost fell off.

The next second, I saw Issac fell off from the pony and his body continue rolling on the ground till he stopped by a tree. Alvin and I were running towards him and checked with him how is he doing, is he being hurt?

I feel it was a blessing that he is safe and protected by Heavenly Father. If last weekend he attend the KL District Young Men Camp, I believe that he would be involve in small challenges as well.

Issac told us that he is very aware of what was going on, and he was trying his best to determine the time to let go of his hand from the horse saddle. He said he saw the timing when he felt that his body was nearer to the ground then he decided to let go of his hand, then he just rolled onto the ground.

His clothing was dirty with dirt and wet because he crashed into a pail of water which put aside the tree. I quickly went to take his clothing in the car and gave him to change at the toilet. Alvin helped him.

After the incident, Issac felt as he indeed have some trials or challenges that he went through this year. The first is Annabelle and him both were missing in Hong Kong during the KL District youth temple trip, and now here he goes again – fell off from a normal pony ride.

I know he must be scared during when things happen, but I know that he definitely found his testimony in the midst of all these happenings which to him were some major events in his life so far.

I am blessed to have him as my son and a faithful righteous Aaronic Priesthood in our home. I know that the Lord will definitely watching over him no matter what happened.
