Riding Logs: Keepsakes for Life

Published by GHC • May 7th, 2008 • Category: Riding Advice, by Halee

by Halee | Today I was looking through some old entries in my old riding log, which was sadly lost under mountains of stuff in my closet for quite a while. Well, I was looking through it and visited the all-important lesson not to be ignorant, and remembered how much I have grown since then…



15 Writing Tips

Published by GHC • Apr 6th, 2008 • Category: Books and Writing, by Halee

by Halee, age 12
Girls Horse Club is filled with utterly amazing writers, thinkers, and of course horse lovers. I’ve read many things by all of the members since 2006, and am stunned and awed by many of your writing. I myself have written many stories and nine novels. I’m not much of a poet, and [...]

by Halee | The disabled: we all know them. They are often called stupid; they are made fun of for being different. Not so at my stable, Spirit Therapies. SPIRIT is a non-profit program that helps the emotionally, physically, or mentally disabled reach their potential…

As my fellow horseback riders know, our sport seems to have boundless ‘golden rules’. At least that is what my previous riding instructor called the little tidbits that polish and build the foundation for riding skills, and keeping things running smoothly around the stable. If you aren’t a horseback rider, only admiring horses from afar, [...]

by Halee, age 12
As a present for my Winter Solstice holiday, I received three ornaments from my father. Each one had a fairy tale scene on it. One was a fairy and her unicorn standing together, another was of them riding together, and another of her flying nearby. Each one had a word inscribed on [...]



More Than Just a Pretty Face

Published by GHC • Dec 27th, 2007 • Category: Horse Girls, by Halee

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
“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 [...]
