New Found Passion

 

Once horses are in your blood. It will always be in your blood as the saying goes. In a previous life in Canada, I had a equine business. I taught riding, trained and competed horses, imported and exported horses for sales, and more. Everything horsey. I even landed a job as a stunt rider in a Hollywood film. A very bad movie but a really interesting job!
One common conversation between parents and riding instructor went something like this. "We can't really afford to buy our teenage daughter a horse." the parent would sigh apologetically.
"You can't really afford NOT to buy you teenage daughter a horse". "If she isn't riding with this good group of friends on her free time she will likely be hanging out with drug lords at the shopping mall." I would reply.
Usually they nodded and managed the funds, later realizing it was the best investment they had ever made in their childs adolesence years. Hence the introduction of Bucky to my daughter.
