7. pressing flowers in a heavy book
8. braiding your hair
9. the smell of saddle soap
10. watching horses eat
11. drawing in black pen
12. painting your nails
13. the sound of shoes crunching in the sand
14. the sound of shoes crunching in the snow (though this seems pretty unlikely to happen anytime soon)
