I could ride a horse since as long as I remember. I was put on a horse before I could walk!
We grew up with horses our whole lives. I had a beautiful palomino called Angel (with a devil of an attitude)
The stallion in the paddock next to her got through a fence and she became pregnant the same time I fell pregant with DD
I rode her for a while but knew it wasn't an option to have a baby AND train a foal and look after the horses so I had to sell her to a good friend.
I knew it wasn't fair on her to have no time for her.
My DD has started horse riding every so often, but not as much as I'd like. We just don't have the time
We are getting a minature pony for either DD's 6th birthday or for christmas as mum has a paddock and needs an animal to put it in so this is a solution that works for everyone! DD gets a horse, well, the whole family gets a little pet horse. We all adore horses in my family
