Re: [RC] unsupportive spouse/procreating - ChrystalP.S. When your kid rides, you've always got a training partner. The best part of my 12 yr old being my training partner is that I am the boss - we go the speed I want and where I want- she is quite happy to follow behind!! And if you are lucky enough to have 2 children ( like me) you have a training partner and pit crew! My 9 yr old is always waiting at the vet checks with jugs of water to put on my horse and is awesome at sponging etc.. to get the HR's down ( she is not so good at helping her sister tho' ;-) ) Ditto on the grandchild thing my kids are only 12 and 9 and I am already planning on keeping the little 11hh pony they have ridden for my grandkids.......... he is only 10 so I figure he will still be around in 15 years. ;-) Angie- maybe you would like to borrow him sometime in the next 15 yrs???? Chrystal :-) :-) Kids don't get in the way of living your life- they make living your life SO much better and definitely more fun!!:-)

Where do you think junior riders come from? Having kids & continueing to ride has been absolutely no problem here. They have a daddy too. A couple of hours in the afternoon and early Saturday mornings is no big deal...that's called quality daddy time. They love it. That's when they get to have ice cream for breakfast & such. I'd say the bigger problem is...do you like kids? Doesn't sound like you have any urge to be around them. If that's the case I doubt you need one. I had an absolute ball getting to have little ponies around for them to ride, setting up jumps and games in the yard for them, etc. I'm already scouting out for a good pony for my grandchildren, and my oldest daughter is just 19 and not even close to engaged...but you know, a good pony is hard to find so I figure I'd just better get started. :-) P.S. When your kid rides, you've always got a training partner.
