I always loved horses from a distance but when I had breast cancer at age 49 I thought you never know when your time is up so I rescued an off the track thoroughbred. We both healed and bonded for 2 yrs then started working with a trainer. In that 2 yrs I learned how to take care of horses and found my new passion in life. I’m now 53, we are trail riding and loving life.

I don’t remember when. My parents said I loved horses from the time I was a baby. I didn’t grow up on a farm, but I did love horses and wanted to ride when ever I got the chance. I had Breyer horses and and horse books and loves all the horse movies. From My Friend Flica to The Black Stallion. I got my first real horse when I was 22. I an now 52 and have a TWH. and a miniature horse that I drive.

Growing up in Southwestern Ontario Canada as a child in the 1950s, our milk was delivered by Horse and wagon. I waited every morning to give that horse a carrot. One day the Milk man put me on top of the big Belgium and let me ride 2 houses past.I looked up at that horse and said “One day I am going to get a horse when I grew up.” I was 21 before I got my first horse.

I really don’t know when I started loving horses. It was when I was really young. I just loved them. I don’t know why. And I still do.

I can not remember when I started riding. My Uncle had horses and we rode there. My brother had horses and I rode and broke the foal we had. I’m 64 and yes I have a horse. All I have to do is drive up to the pasture and here she comes.
I had Horses pastured with a friend of mine. My wife went with me one day and some fence needed some work. I’m down on one knee working on the fence. One horse is trying to take my hat, another trying to pull something out of my pocket, another horse fussing with my boot. My wife thought I lost my mind. I was not concerned I knew all the horses and I was not concerned about getting hurt. Oh none of those were my horses. They belong to my friend.
If fact my friend would go out and try to catch one of his horses and would get mad. I asked him which one he wanted. I would grab a piece of baling twine put it around the horses neck and lead it back. He was amazed, my wife was amazed,they didn’t have halters on how else could I get them?
I also know where every horse in the county is.

None of these apply. My mother was not an animal lover in any way, but she confesses that my first word was ‘ony. For my stuffed horse.

I remember one day in kindergarten I decided that I wanted to be different, so I would ride horses since they were not normally thought of, and like pink, because in kindergarten it wasn’t really thought of as a color. I have no idea why, but even though the pink didn’t stick, after that one thought I loved horses as if I had loved them all my life. I didn’t have to think about liking them; I just did, almost like a candle flaring up from wet timber. But the candle never went out, and now I have my own horse and am training him in eventing, through falls and bits and kicks. That one day in kindergarten was undoubtably the most important in my life so far, as I am looking into a career with horses and my entire life revolves around them. Thank God for my akwardness.??

I never had any family history or experiences of horses in any way. I just knew I loved them right from the start. I remember pestering my mum very early (maybe about 4 or 5) on to buy me a pony.
