My New Year’s Wish

By GHC • Dec 31st, 2007 • Category: Junior Blogger Archives, Odds & Ends

by Cassie, age 11
It’s after Christmas now, and with the New Year just around the corner many people are making New Year’s resolutions. Instead of a New Year’s resolution, I’ve decided that I have a wish for Girls Horse Club.
My New Year’s wish for Girls Horse Club is that the Blog and Loft Book Club [...]



True Horse Girls

By GHC • Dec 30th, 2007 • Category: Junior Bloggers, Odds & Ends, by Stargazer

by Stargazer, age 11
In many horse places I go, I’m seeing and hearing more and more things that say ‘to be a horse girl you have to be like this’ or ‘if you truly love horses, you don’t care about clothes or anything else.’ Not particularly at Girls Horse Club, but on many horse sites [...]



Shout Out to the World — Now!

By GHC • Dec 29th, 2007 • Category: Junior Blogger Archives, Take a Stand

by Lauren, age 10
Some angry and dumb people who believe in horse slaughter don’t realize these important things: Horses are basically like us. They eat and drink and move around (like us), they have a nose, different colored hair, eyes, and ears (like us). If they are similar to us, why go out and torture [...]



Hidden Hope

By GHC • Dec 28th, 2007 • Category: Gift Horse, by Madelaina

by Madelaina | Being allowed to get a horse is all too exciting for you! You’d get to ride it everyday, groom it everyday, play with it everyday, bond with it everyday, train with it everyday and so on… But the best part is, you’d choose him or her! Wait, that might just be the problem…



More Than Just a Pretty Face

By GHC • Dec 27th, 2007 • Category: Horse Girls, Junior Blogger Archives

by Halee, age 12
I’ve noticed that many girls spend hours just dreaming of the perfect horse. One of my close friends (who shall remain unnamed) often dreams of owning a leggy Thoroughbred stallion, black of course, who races faster than anyone else. This no name friend tells me how she will ride and own him. [...]



Winter Days at the Barn

by Syd, age 12
Aw yes, the first official day of winter was December 21st but for many of us we started getting winter weather around a few weeks ago. Maybe even a little snow! Well what are we supposed to do about our equine companions in this weather? Lucky for you I’m here to tell [...]

Christmas Horses

By GHC • Dec 20th, 2007 • Category: Junior Bloggers, Odds & Ends, by Rebecca Shyly

by Rebecca Shyly, age 11
Lately I’ve been thinking about Christmas… alot! I was singing some Christmas songs and realized there are some with horses. For example:

Jingle Bells: “Dashing through the snow in a one *horse* open sleigh…”
Jingle Bell Rock: “Giddy up jingle *horse* pick up your feet…”

And I was listening to Christmas stories and found [...]



Training a Horse: Patience and Time Will Tell

By GHC • Dec 19th, 2007 • Category: Horse Advice, Junior Blogger Archives

by horsejo, age 11
Even the smoothest and most calm horse you have ever seen started off untrained. All horses are at one time or another. When horses are born, they only lean natural things like how to walk and how to eat. Once a horse gets old enough, we have to train them everything else. [...]



A Day in the Life of a Horse Lover

By GHC • Dec 17th, 2007 • Category: Gift Horse, Horse Girls, Junior Blogger Archives

by Halee | “Girl, why are you obsessing about just a horse?” asked one of my best friends. Wow, was she in for a LONG talk! If she had known what kind of talk she was going to get after that one, I’m sure she would’ve kept her mouth shut. It only took me all of two seconds to have my answer…
