Aaron

Poor Aaron is the tragic victim in all of this.  Born to a mother obsessed with horses, he has learned and adapted out of necessity.  OK, so he's hardly suffering.  Find him at a horse show and it'll most likely be with a video game or scooter in hand.

Aaron has an amazing touch with animals.  His slow and unthreatening approach does much to calm even the most upset critters.  If he ever decides to enter the show arena, it should evolve into something pretty impressive. 

On the other hand, he could also prove to be quite successful on the football field if he can just demonstrate a little less of a slow and unthreatening approach.  Beginning football in 7th grade, Aaron was far behind the learning curve for boys in Texas.  Nevertheless, by the end of the season he was starting on Offense and Defense as well as helping out on special teams every now and then.  He proved time and again that a hard working farm boy can push around city kids whenever he needs to.  It's no surprise to us:  When other boys are hanging out at the mall, Aaron is cleaning stalls or chopping wood.  Combine that with his unusually large size and he just had too much of an advantage in his favor.
