It’s so sad that so many girls (and boys!) love horses and can’t do it any more thanks to money! That’s my problem.

I sold my quarter horse and packed up my boots and gear. My saddle just sits here in my city apartment waiting to be used again. I used to find that when I’d go to the barn and ride, it was like meditation. My life would seem less stressful and solutions to problems would surface over the course of the day. I miss that. I miss the smell too.

Every year I go to the State Fair and pet every single horse at the barns, I love the shows and the ribbons. I’d love to have stuck with riding and compete, but money is a big issue. Plus, I work so much to pay rent, what time do I have left? Not so much.

Good luck everyone, though! Some day….
