Every day I seek out new articles,information,opinions,how to’s, etc thru people I know and web-sites.My first stop is of course a no brainer, Horse Channel.com. I continue to educate myself when,where and how I can.Then I can feel I’m doing my part to be a responsible horse owner.Knowing and doing the right thing in every aspect of my horses;health,training and day to day care is so important me because she needs me to be knowlegable.She trusts and depends on me to make the right decisions that affect her life everyday.So when in doubt I ask,read,look and LISTEN. After all she’s my Best friend forever and I want her to out live me a happy and healthy horse. Oh,she’ll be 5 this spring I’m closer to 60 than 55. With a little luck thrown in maybe we’ll grow old together with the wind between our ears.Thanx,Horse Channel you offer it all to us wanna-bes and dreamers.

I always try to give myself a challenge. Wheather it’s raising the jump, or choosing a more difficult route of the trail, I try to do my best and NEVER give up. Also, it really helps to *think like a horse*

I’ve never been fortunete enough to purchase my own horse to experience with, but I have taken stride in learning how to be a handicaped-rider trainer, as well as prep horses for their new duties as a friend for these special people. It’s a gift few ever consider to be real.

I finally got my dream to come true at age 50 I got my first horse, I don’t know if I really could come up with the right words in what it has meant to me, now I have two horses and have them at home with me now, I am learning daily about JUST everything not wasting any time as I have had them for eight years and I am not getting any younger although they make me feel as if I am. Being with them and loving them. I think if folks had more time to just sit down at their barn watch their horses you can learn so so much !! They are my pride and joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I plan to live like a lady that boards at the same barn as me. She’s in her 70’s and has been riding all her life but she never stops trying new things. Her mind stays open to what people have to say and is always grateful for critique. She’s so inspiring!

I am constantly making new friends when we go camping with the horses, or attend charity rides, or organized rides. With a network of friends, we are always asking opinions about various things, or checking out each others trailers, tack, equipment or ideas from training tools, clinic information, medicines, etc. A great source of “what works and what doesn’t work” wisdom. I have and continue to learn from a great group of Friends!

I am going away to college next year. I intend on getting a degree in Equine Science. That will further my education…literally!

I decided to lease a horse for the summer, so I am learning more by riding and caring for the horse almost every day!

I go to horse shows, I volunteer at a theraputic riding facility, go to different horse barns, read horse books/magazines, and watch plenty of horse-related shows and movies
