The quite is almost eerie, I feel like I'm the only one around . The ground is untouched a clean slate. I go wake up the rest of the house and tell them to listen, their expression tells me they know, smiles break across our faces . We rush through breakfast and bring out the winter gear. Sunglasses, sunscreen, gloves , silk long johns and riding boots .
The barn is warm and inviting. Quickly feeding the horses so they can eat while we groom them. The smell of hay and leather is heaven . Brushing his coat wrapping his legs using the wool and gel saddle pad and my favorite saddle. Mounted up we are ready for a morning of fresh snow riding. The doors open and my heart races as I squeeze him forward and we are in the snow

ENGLISH Composition 101
"Destroyed"
1. The column "Destroyed" talks about the purity of sports being lost to performance enhancing drugs. Doping as it is called , has become such the norm that is has actually become a wager-able activity in Las Vegas. Doping takes away from truly talented athletes and give the fans a false hero in the chosen sport. But is the temporary fame worth the shortened life span induced by the drugs.
2. So to paraphrase paragraph 10 The true problem is the athletes poor health and dramatically shortened life span after using steroids.
3. "And it all goes back to purity " (The Bedford Reader 11th edition page 581 )
This is a defining moment ,it brings the whole idea together. An athlete is to be talented strong and above average in the sport with no help from anything but desire and practice. Chemically enhanced performances take away from the truly talented individuals that work hard and give their all to the sport.
