by Rebecca Shyly, age 11

As a horse girl, I know we sometimes get told, “Oh, you’ll grow out of this horse thing!’” Over and over again. For some of us this might be true, although I hope not! But what if it does? Day after day I see my friends, who used to love horses, [...]

Horses can just be a childhood phase, as my brother has many a time said to me. [...]



And the Mini Competition Winner Is…

By LeadMare • Nov 26th, 2007 • Category: Competitions and Giveaways

Note to Self: Do NOT host a competition where you’re solely responsible for selecting the winner. It’s simply too difficult when entries come from horse girls around the world who are amazingly clever and talented.
Well there’s no one to blame but me for taking on this difficult task. So to make it a bit easier, [...]

At age 2 - All the other little girls smiled when they got to play with mommy’s phone. You just wanted to pet mommy’s horse.
