own a horse

I started horseriding lessons when I was about 10, and continued them every weekend and oftentimes after school until I was 14, at which time I stopped. I’m now 17, and I intensely miss horseriding, as well as pony club and just being around those beautiful animals. I’ll own a horse one day, at any cost.

I started riding when I was about 10 years old because my friend who rode had a sort of “riding party” and took some of us to the stables where she rode, and we had a riding lesson. After that I knew I had found the thing that I just needed to do in life. It was an amazing feeling; and I had always thought horses were beautiful. So I started riding at the stables my friend rode at and mainly rode a beautiful, though fairly old, horse named Toby and a small pony called Maisie. Toby was very slow and steady but was very gentle; I felt very safe on him. Maisie was a lovely pony and I had my first little jump on here which was fun. The stables I went to there were not my favourite, I wasn’t too fond of some of the people but I was determined not to give up riding so continued. Eventually those stables closed down and I began to ride at another riding school where a friend of mine rode. I rode various horses and ponies there but didn’t feel I was moving along very quickly; I was stuck in a novice lesson for about a year just doing trotting, 20 metre circles and sitting trot. I knew I was ready to do more really, I was desperate to canter.
I rode at that place with two of my friends. One stayed but me and the other decided to move to another place which seemed a lot better. We have been riding there for about a year and have started to canter, jump and hack out. I couldn’t be happier. We’ve gained a lot of expierience, some bad and some good. For example, we’ve hacked out and been bolted with, fallen off plenty of times, my friend was reared with and I’ve been bucked off twice. But it’s so much better than being in a tiny school trotting and watching others canter past, then feeling so jealous of them.
I don’t just want a horse. I need one really. One day I will get a horse because I am so determined. For now I am happy riding at the stables I’m at, I stay after my lesson and help out; I’ve learned so much and am happy but I know in the future I will have my own horse. Nothing will stop me.

i have been riding for 5 years … i am now 13 and i know that i am ready to own my own horse . i am very sensible and i have said to my parents that i will help pay for everything but still they say no … there are places near us that we could keep it at as we cant keep it at our house . i help out at my riding stables whenever i can and my mum and dad know i love horses to death !
if anyone has any advice on how they did it or if you are in the same situation as me .. please reply .. Thanks .. Xx

I took riding lessons as a child, and then later, as a teen. I have worked as a stablehand in barns and for families, and as an assistant instructor for special needs kids (hippotherapy). I love horses, and really feel like there is something in them that touches me on a deep, spiritual level. Their kind eyes and faces have always inspired me. I hope, one day, to own one of my own. The largest hurdle would be the land, as I live in Massachusetts and land/property prices are extremely high here.

i’ve been riding for 3 years and i finally got a horse. i looked at 3 horses, all with bad front legs and now i finally have my perfect horse. don’t give up. the horse is out there!

Owning a horse is a future dream. I hope i can make it real someday, but will only go for it when i’m in the right financial position.

hi every1 it me has any1 got any tips on riding horses i dnt no a lot bout them and wud love tu know how to care for them and daily work

I have always loved horses and admired their strength and beauty. Horseback riding gives me so much happiness and just being near a horse is just as great. I hope to own land one day to have a horse or two and ride whenever I like.

Horses are my favorite animal. i love them. I take lessons every week.
I want a barn full of my own. Maybe I’ll have some of the best. Arabians, quarter horses, thoroughbreds, mustangs, anyone or all.
Rescues or elites or both.
