My first horse changed my life completely. Her name was Amber and she lived to be 31 years old – she died on my birthday this year. Amber taught me everything I know today – trust, honesty, how to keep secrets, how to be myself, standing up for what is right,love,friendship, teamwork, etc. She taught me everything in such a short time at the age of 6 to 7 years old.
We moved and Amber could not go with us – she was too old and would not be able to survive the winters here. I cried for such a long time, but I made a promise to her that I would see her again. Seven years past and this 2013 summer I was going to make that promise happen. But ever since I received the email of her passing that morning I realised she was in my heart the entire time, I was just too busy trying to see her with my own eyes that all those years she was always in my heart – guiding me in the right directions and making the right decisions.
She taught me to be thankful for everything I’ve ever had and to never give up. Amber is who made me truly interested in horses and she keeps me interested and she is my rock for building my dreams on – one dream of mine to to become a horse trainer and name something after her. She was an amazing horse and none other could ever compare to how she was. My two horses I have now are 22 and used to share a pasture with her, and even when she died the morning of my birthday I still went to her old pasture mates and rode. They seemed to know it happened.

Horse’s are our therapist, babysitters, work partner, they are not for eating. Work hard with your represetatives to keep horse slaughter from starting again and to stop transporting of horse’s out of the USA, for slaughter.

Horses have changed my life by making it more meaningful, exciting, and allowing me to become the person I am today. Each horse is so different, and they teach you different things about yourself that you yourself never knew. About a year and a half ago, I rode a 16.3, claustrophobic, OTTB. I gave him my trust, and in return he gave me the ability to learn, and to become a more trusting person. Now I ride a mare named Cassie, and I am finally moving up to training level dressage, a goal I have been working towards with multiple horses, I just never had the right one. I will be ever thankful for the horses that have allowed me to gain such wonderful life lessons, and I will never forget any of them.

I’ve wanted a horse since I was 7 yrs old. I finally got my ‘Black Beauty’ at 57 yrs old! I rescued him last July, I found out how much I needed rescuing from my PTSD. He taught me how to trust, lower my energy and love unconditionally. Even my friends notice a difference in me! It’s all because of him horse 🙂 I love to spend time with him, I learn so much about life from him. Horses truly are a reflection of ourselves.

Some amazing stories of how horses have changed our lives. Without horses there would not be an America they built this country they should be honored. I don’t know what I would do without getting up and not seeing my 3 babies at the barn wanting to be fed both food and affection.
