For the love of horses....

All horses deserve, at least once in their lives, to be loved by a little girl.

My best memories growing up are of my horses and my friends I rode with. We spent every minute we could at the barn with our horses: riding, grooming, mucking and goofing off. I can categorize my younger years by which horse I had at the time: Blitz, Chocolate, Beowulf, Tweed, and Andy. Each one was perfectly unique in spirit and taught me something completely new about myself.....

Blitz was my first pony....he'd been hit by a motorcycle years before he and I met and lost much of the feeling in his face....he's about to drag me across the street in this photo (I'm on the left with the sweet perm and pegged jeans):


Here I am with Harris Tweed (wow....20 years ago).....he had the reputation for throwing his previous owners into jumps. He continued that tradition with me.....but only in the show ring when we had an audience. Out in the field, with no saddle and no fear, we'd stack up cinder blocks on top of oil drums and make the jumps higher and higher and it was like we were invincible.....


And then the love of my teenage life: Andy

Andy didn't make it as a racehorse....and that's how he ended up with me. He was perfect...and just a little bit crazy. I took him fox hunting a few times and he would take off in a full run with the hounds as if he were back on the track......the type of fast where you can barely feel the horse anymore.


How many of you are horse lovers? :)
