Re: [RC] First Horse - marybenstover

I grew up thinking I was deprived.  I wanted my parents to be farmers and they were schoolteachers.  But my godmother had an old spanish land grant ranch of about 145,000+ acres in Hollister (California).  Every time we went there all I got to see was the airstrip, the indoor pool and the chincillas.....no horses.......I was so bummed.  But she did send cool Christmas presents.

Oh I LOVE that!  I was horse crazy, too.  My grandfather was a rancher, had cattle and also bred AHQA horses, I followed him around constantly.  I grew up in the barn, literally.

My sisters and I were so totally nuts that our first horses were palomino coloured "suitcases" (yes, you read that right) that we rode around the house.  We must have had very good imaginations...we had a lot of fun with those "horses" and never got bitten or bucked off!  Thankfully, it was only a few more years before we got to start riding the real things.
