Not on my phone in picture, phone used to take pictureFYI If you give your child a pony, they will want to ride. You’ll buy them the best pony you can find, f...ollowed by a helmet, boots and all the other things pony. You look for a local barn to ride at where you start to socialize with the equestrian communityAnd then life as you know it, will end. Before you know it, they want to show so you find a circuit ..There will be no more lazy weekends watching tv. You will see more sunrises than you ever thought possible. Every spare minute of your time will be spent hauling campers, horse trailers and horses and enduring a crazy addiction to practice for the next show. Your house may be a mess, and your car will be dirty. All because you gave your child a pony. Your weekends will be spent freezing or burning to death on a fold up chair. And their weekends will be spent gaining confidence and friends, learning new skills and having fun and getting dirty!!!! You will be there the day he or she takes the first few steps of canter, the first taste of a jump, first ribbon, first championship. And they will make you SO proud. Other parents will congratulate you, but you feel weird saying thank you because it's not you on the pony, it’s your child. It's everything that they did, they achieved. And right before your eyes, your little boy/girl will be transformed from the baby who bounced around on their rocking horse into an exceptional young horse enthusiast on the hunt for the next pony finals or maybe even the Olympics! When you give your child a pony , you give them more than just something to ride. You give them a sport, a talent, hope and dreams. Friends, a new family, a place to learn about life, room to grow as a person where they can push their limits, and bravery, and courage, and memories. And they will have ALL of these things, simply because you gave your child a pony. Because you gave your child a pony, you too will develop new/lifelong friendships, developed solely from the same passion for the sport. You will have a equestrian family because you gave your child a pony. Then one day, many years from todaythey will be in their room and a certain trophy will catch their eye. And they will pick it up and realize instantly that when you gave your child a pony, you also gave them a childhood that they would never forget, at this point, you realize that everything you gave up along the way and sacrificed was totally worth it.. All because you gave your child a pony . #thisiswhatitsallabout I’m beyond blessed to have had a pony Amen!! Picture credit Meagan Gravelle

That’s the thing about horses, they are as much about science as they are feeling. How we care for them, how we feed them, how we condition and rehabilitate the...m. That’s all science. But there’s a side to this that has nothing to do with what you know, but rather what you feel. You can know everything there is to cognitively know about horses and be very ineffective with them. Horses respond to behavior, movement, and timing, and they can read a room. You cannot effectively handle and work with horses and be closed off; they won’t do what you ask or want. And frankly they won’t trust you. And that’s how I think they heal the broken. Because to work with them you need to be emotionally open, even if it’s just in that moment in time. It’s why so many programs for veterans, victims of abuse, first responders, people with genetic syndromes, incarceration rehabilitation programs, are all starting to utilize horses in their therapy programs. Horses are unbiased and nonjudgmental. Sometimes people really need that. Horses are a great metaphor for life, and that’s something you truly only learn working with them. When you win with them it’s a high, and when you lose with them it’s usually devastating. That’s why people love horses. It’s not the riding. It’s the depth of the experience, and the dynamic bond you can form with them. I wish I could teach everyone that. It’s why those who grow up with horses end up being who they are, and the way they are, and love them for a lifetime; or at least the true horse people do. And you’re not going to change my mind that horses don’t make us better people; they make us more compassionate, more empathetic, more kind, more patient, more understanding, more genuine, more confident, more authentic, more ourselves. Horses teach us about vulnerability, about courage, about loss, about heartbreak, about triumph. Horses teach us a whole lot about life, and even more about ourselves. They are the teachers we don’t deserve, but desperately need at certain times in our lives. Cherish your time with them. We only get so long with them. - - - - - - - - - - - Me, on why people love horses; an excerpt from a book I’ll probably never write

Did anybody else see this?? She literally has her hands rubber-banded down. Talk about doing whatever it takes! And she won the round. Respect!

These are great RIDING RULES FOR Middle Aged HORSEWOMEN -author unknown to me 1) We DO NOT need to show up with our hair combed and wearing makeup and a clean s...hirt. 2) Moaning, groaning and complaining about aching muscles is perfectly acceptable, as is taking Motrin (or something stronger) prior to a ride. 3) Helping someone on or off the horse does not mean the rider is an invalid. It only means the horse got taller overnight. 4) No one will comment about how big someone's butt looks in a saddle. 5) Everyone will wait patiently while someone dismounts and adjusts equipment. They will also wait patiently until that person re-mounts and is ready to move on--no matter how long that takes. 6) When a horse is acting up, we will just accept that it is having a bad hair day - it is not the rider's fault. 7) Mentioning that it is too hot, too dry, too humid, too cold, too wet, too buggy, etc., is considered self-expression, not whining. 8)Wanting to be first, last, walk, or just stop does not mean the rider is a wimp. Sometimes it is necessary to teach a horse who is in charge. 9) We will take time to discuss the important issues of the day, like who is dating who, who is cheating on who and any other relevant information that needs to be passed on. 10) We will acknowledge that horses are very strange animals and that sometimes, for no reason at all, we fall off of them. If this happens to any rider, the other riders will ascertain that the person is okay and then not mention the incident to another living soul, especially husbands and significant others. 11) Our horses are not fat, they are "big-boned." 12) We need to keep this riding thing mysterious and strange-sounding. If everyone finds out how much fun it is, the price of horses will go up and we will not be able to afford a dozen of them. 13) If we want, we can show up in English helmets and boots and ride in a western saddle if we feel like it, so we can take more stuff with us and no one is allowed to make comments
