by Rebecca Shyly | Horse girls will always be horse girls. This is true. But sometimes it is not healthy or easy to only concentrate on horses, horses, horses, and more horses. I am not saying that you have to stop loving horses, I am just saying that it is okay to have other interests too…



International Horse Girls

Published by GHC • Mar 26th, 2008 • Category: Horse Girls, by Madelaina

by Madelaina | There are probably millions out there who dream about horses every single night, and even scream merely at the word horse. They give no hesitation to grasp a chance to climb onto the back of a horse and fly away…



Horses: My One Safe Place

Published by GHC • Mar 9th, 2008 • Category: Horse Girls, by Rebecca Shyly

by Rebecca Shyly | Life is complicated! Some days are so hard. Your friends turn their back on you, teachers are mean, you get grounded and you wonder: is there anything that won’t turn against me? Horse girls obviously know one thing (or rather, one animal) that is always there for them…

Published by GHC • Mar 7th, 2008 • Category: Horse Girls, by Rebecca Shyly

Wow! Just thinking of how much Julia has inspired us all makes me cry. I know that she will not be leaving forever, but in the close community of our virtual barn, even a short absence of anyone causes pain to us! Julia has inspired us all with her thoughtful poetry. She never fails to [...]

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. [...]

by Halee, age 12
