So, you want to buy a horse?

I came across this today. This is funny, but sad because it is often true.

Oh, and if that's what she's charging for board, I wanna board there, too!

Jean said...: That is hysterical...and, as you note, unfortunately often too true.

"I will trim her feet myself. I bought a book on how to do it." And the famous, "I want a young horse so I can train it and grow with it."

Omigosh, just about every stupid comment I have ever heard from people who just think getting a horse is no big deal.

Great video. Thank you so much for posting it!!; May 1, 2011 at 10:26 PM

My Quotes:

“Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of Solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A good horse is worth more than riches."
- Spanish Proverb

"Feel the Fear - Do it Anyway"
- Susan Jeffers

RIDE FOR HER!
Somewhere behind the rider you've become,
The trainers who pushed you,
The people who believed in you,
The long hours of schooling,
The falls you've taken,
The ribbons you didn't win,
The tears and broken bones,
And the horses you've given your heart to,
Is the little girl who fell in love with the sport
And never looked back.
Ride for her!
