Welcome...
Hey everyone!!! As you can tell I am a horse fanattic. I love horses and I want to help other people who love horses too. If you own a horse you know how much fun they can be, and they can also be expensive. I'd like to help and show you the easiest way to have fun, get the better deals, and enjoy the time with your horse.
Horses can be for ANYONE.
I don't care who you are there is a horse out there for you. I don't care if you say you hate horses because deep down inside you, you are wondering what it is like to own and care for a horse. Sure not everything will be fun, but for every good thing there is work. Yes, horses are a lot of work, but if you ask me, it is worth it. You will never find a better friend than an animal. My best friends are my horses. Each horse has its own personallity just like us people.
How to have FUN!!
Have you ever washed your horse? Some will say you have to wash a horse, others will say yes. If you haven't, then you don't know what fun your missing. I love washing my horses and they love playing in the water. Don't worry you horse will like it as soon as he/she figures out that its not going to get hurt. Just remeber to ease the water on them starting with their hooves and going up their legs to their body, and try not to get the shampoo/soap in their eyes. I love riding bareback and the horses enjoy not getting girthed up. Its very relaxing to the horse to go out on trails and just spending time with the horse. Horses enjoy attention and it lets them know you care. If you can't ride your horse then walk them. They enjoy walks as much as riding. If you horse is getting broke be sure to spend as much time with him/her so they know that you are still their friend and that not everybody will hurt them. There are so many ways to have fun... you'll be having fun without knowing it.
Safer is better than Sorry
When being around your horse or a friends horse always be careful. I use to say that I know my horses so well and that they wouldn't hurt me. It doesn't matter how well you know your horse, they can still hurt you, accidents happen. Nothing has happened to me, but my friend use to say that. She got kicked. It was an accident and accidents do happen. It's also good to have another person around so if you do get hurt they can help. They can also be another set of eyes. You be surprised what happens and what can happen from another perspective. I always say better SAFE than SORRY.
