did u dream of a horse for christmas?

[kaykay]

the entire time i grew up every year i would pray so hard that when i woke there would be a horse standing tied to a tree in the front yard. The dream was so vivid and i wanted it so bad that every year i would wake up and run to the window and look to see if this was the year i finally got a horse. Im embarressed to say i think i did this all the way to 16 years of age before i finally gave up and knew no horse was coming LOL.

Now im so blessed to finally have my dream standing in the back yard.

How many others had this same dream growing up?

I know i have seen others post something similiar over the years and i always thought it was just me LOL

 

[Secret22]

Sounds familier to me lol!

 

[Lisa-Ruff N Tuff Minis]

are you kidding, Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, 4th of July whatever i could come up with as a holiday i dreamed of getting a horse!

 

[luvmycritters]

Well I was lucky enough to have the same horse from the time I was four until she passed away when I was about seventeen. I spent more time with her then I ever did with children my own age. I also went on numerous rides with my grandpa on his horses, while growing up. Guess I never realised how truly lucky I was...

Yes... but mine were not a Christmas gift. Our first horse was my mare, Lady. I bought her shortly after my Grandfather passed away. The money I bought her with was my inheritance from him. So she is my Grandfather's legacy here. It is fitting that she currently lives at his place, with my sister. My Grandmother passed very shortly after we bought Lady. Then we bought Missy, and King. King was born on my Grandmother's birthday, just months before she died. We didn't know that until a bit after we bought him. My mom has always thought that King was a gift from my Grandparents. I think it would be more fitting to say that King's foals that will be born in 2007 will be the legacy of my Grandparents. But that's neither here nor there. My mom and I both asked for horses while we were growing up. Neither of us got one however. Maybe next year!

By the way, King is the black in my avatar.

Oh yes Kay,

EVERY year, altho I wasn't as 'bad'

as Lisa, I only looked at Christmas and my birthday

Never did have one tied to a tree, but was able to work and buy my first horse when I was 16. Haven't been without since!!

Oh yes. I never got one as a child because my dad was in the Air Force.

I got my first horse when I was in my thirties. However, my grandfather always had horses that I could work with so that helped as a child.

I was always the little girl who sat on santa's lap at wal-mart and he said 'what do you want for christmas little girl' and i said 'a pony' lol. Every year, it never changed.

I still do dream of a white pony. Its what i always wanted, but i got the next best thing ...a mostly white pinto mini so sweet. But i would love nothing better then to wake up and see a 12hh (around 45-47in) snow white (as white as it can get without glowing) pony.

But i've put that dream on hold for about 3 years ....i might wait about 4 or 5 more years though. lol ....i miss being 7!.

I think that's one of my best Christmas memories(other then really seeing Santa and his sleigh leave our roof top and fly away at the age of 5)

wishing for a pony, looking outside and believing so hard that there was one outside waiting for me. I did finally get one at 15 years old. She wasn't a Christmas present, but might as well have been. This year I am getting a true Christmas wish. I am getting an QH/TB gelding. We pick him up next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jdomep]

Every year of my life! So many years I would cry at Christmas because santa did not leave me a horse

The 2 things I wanted most were a horse and snow (grew up in Florida on the beach) and every x-mas, b-day, wished on every star etc and it didn't happen until I was 26 and I remember the day I bought my horse it was snowing and I called my mom crying I was SO happy

 

[shortymisty]

Shoot I'd clip out an ad of someone selling their pony, every year and put it on my Christmas list. Never got it, had to buy my own when I was an adult. Parents in their 70's now still think it's a phase I'm going through, a 20 year phase, but then again, who's counting now.

As a child growing up in the city always dreamed of one day living on a farm with lots of animals.My dream finally came true about 13 years ago when we bought our farm.Just wish I was alittle younger to help keep the place up like I want, but injoying every minute here with my husband.

 

[Horsefeathers]

Yep... I was right there too.... expecially right along with what Lisa said... any holiday, I had hope of a horse, pony ANYTHING horse-ish! (Heck, it didn't even have to be on a holiday or birthday... ANY day would have been good enough! LOL) I even had my own fantasy farm (long story) that me and other horse dreamers kept. I did however get to start taking riding lessons when I was in 8th grade (I think... it's been many a year ago)... then after I graduated, moved away, and moved back, I finally (at the age of 23) purchased my first horse... a registered half arabian that is the love of my heart... (next to my little boy and hubby of course!)

Ohh I HATE that dream! ! !!LOL what a letdown

I have asked for a horse for Christmas for ohhhh about 38 years. Still have yet to get one ( for Christmas that is) maybe before I die LOL buuuutttt I am not holding my breath

 

[Crabby-Chicken]

Yep me too. It took me 30 plus years to get one. But the cool thing is, my daughter never had to have that hole in her that I had. We have had the little horses since she was little. Lucky girl!

When my brother came back from Vietnam he asked me what I wanted, of course, I said "horsie". We had no place for a horse. So John called my Mom and asked if he could get me a old english sheep dog, it was almost a horse. She said "NO!" so what did he bring me??? A small caimen, it is like a small crocodile. D A M N bittiest thing I ever saw!!!! Definately NOT a horsie.

 

[Marty]

Kay, I never asked for a pony.

I always asked my parents and Santa for a big black horse. I wanted one just like Fury on tv.

I dreamed of that horse too all the time, but never found one under my tree where we lived in a very large busy city.

However dreams do come true because I did get my big black horse when I grew up and worked for the money to buy her and take care of her. I had Myah for nearly 20 years before she passed. She left me with three perfect foals.

 

[RainSong]

Are you kidding? I -still- dream of a horse for Christmas... my birthday... valentines day... etc

Almost got Shadow (Shadow's Shrine) for Christmas one year- that was heartbreaking. I don't think I'll ever totally be over that hurt.

Every year I still harbor that secret little prayer in my heart- even though I know better. Right now I'd just be happy to be able to touch a horse, period, anymore.

Growing up I always dreamed of finding an awesome Buckskin Quarter Horse draped with a Christmas Bow, LOL. I always dreamed I would name him "Marshal Dillon" too. Named after the Marshall in the old Gunsmoke shows, who always rode a handsome and gallant buckskin.

The last couple years a little guy named “Paw-Paw†pops into my dreams now and then. Sometimes Paw-Paw is a sweet little mare, sometimes he’s an adorable little gelding, but most recently he’s been popping in as a fun little stallion. Though the gender isn’t always precise, he is always a beautiful golden palomino pinto with a bold wide blaze and 4 white socks and his markings always has the “pinto chest shieldâ€, and his name is always “Paw-Paw†because of his “pinto paw printsâ€. Last I saw him was Christmas morning, though only for a few brief spirts here and there, before waking up. But it was enough to keep me smiling with hope for “some day…maybe some dayâ€.

Still, I dream.

Okey-dokey, back to workey!
