by mustangmane | Even when I tell this, my heart starts to thud. My excitement gets stirred around, then the dream comes to mind again. I’ve always dreamed of riding a mustang. Bareback. With no one else around. Having just a rope as a bridle to control him…

by Sweetie | The thing everyone who loves horses dreams of is owning a horse. I’ve always loved horses, and I’ve begged my mum to buy me a horse since I was five. As I got older, I realised that it wouldn’t be possible to get a horse. I knew nothing about horses, and it was way too expensive…

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…

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.

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…
