And how long have you been riding?
I have always loved horses but I am sure it was my mother's influence that got me really involved. If I had lived with my mom all my life I probably would have started a lot sooner. I was 13 years old when she paid for my first riding lessons. I have been riding horses ever since.
That was 22 years ago.
How about you?
my mother did everything
I was born a Horse Nut. I lived in the city, so wasn't able to own a horse or even learn to ride until I was an adult with my own money.
When I was still a baby there was an old rag man that came around in a horse drawn cart. My mother told me about how I would just go nuts whenever I heard the "clip, clop" and she would have to take me outside so I could see the horsey.
The best I can explain it is with this quote from Robert Vavra ~ "From my earliest memories, I have loved horses with a longing beyond words."
