How can I spice up my narrative essay?

I am writing about a big horse show that I competed at, which was overall a very good experience. However, I noticed that my writing does not portray the excitement that I felt.

The main point of my narrative essay is the moment where my horse and I are suspended in midair over a jump that every other horse refused. I was scared to death coming up to it, and the relief I felt as my horse took the jump without hesitation mingled with the familiar joy I feel each time we soar over a fence together.

That one moment is extremely emotional, but I can't get that to come across when I write it. Some interesting adjectives would be helpful, as well as any tips that you can think of.

Thanks everyone.... Emotion: smile

Well, you have presented no portion of your essay, so I can only offer blind advice, but a common way of 'spicing' up a narrative is to write it in present tense. Have you done that?
