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…

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…

by Jeanna Briggs | So let’s say you fell in love with horses at a young age, and you beg your parents for years (OK, so maybe not that long) to get you one.

Cassie | I’m not going to make any long speeches or use any fancy words. To be plain and simple, I’m thankful for horses because of who they are — a friend, family member, counselor and riding partner — a horse is all of these. A horse will be our lifelong friend, and for that I’m thankful…



Why I am Thankful for the Equine: My Whole New Journey
