did u dream of a horse for christmas?

My earliest memories are of either wanting to have a horse or wanting to BE a horse!

I used to stand in my bedroom and think that if I wished hard enough, I would open my eyes and a horse would be there. We had an old oil drum that I would "ride" and imagine to be a wild horse that only I could ride. I scavenged old Western Horseman magazines and read every single book on horses in both the kids' and the adults' section of the Milwaukie Ledding Library. Every night as I fell asleep, I fantasized about riding...it was so real I could feel it.

We had the room, but my dad was self-employed...then he died when I was nine, so a horse was not to be. Instead, I had to make friends with kids lucky enough to have horses...I'd do all of their barn chores for them just to breath in that horsey essence...

After so many long years, I now have my wish...I look out my window and see not one, but THREE beautiful horses...it was definitely worth the wait!

Yep!...I was the exact same way! I actaully wanted to BE a wild horse when I grew up!

I used to dream SO hard about having my own horses. I would day dream about it every day. I am not ashamed to say I did this up until the day I got my horses and I STILL do it!

I had to work really hard for my horses and I had and still have to pay for everything for them 100% myself.

Every Christmas, every birthday! When I was 12 dreams came true and my parents bought me my first horse - a registered Arabian mare. She passed away earlier this year - I'd had her nearly 21 years.
