Horse Riding and More

After my daughter went horse riding for a day with some of her friends during a birthday party, she asked if it would be possible if she took horse riding lessons. She was one of three girls who had never been on a horse and even though she didn’t know much about riding, she apparently is a natural- at least that’s what the trainer told her. Since then she’s talked about... Read More

I was so surprised a few weeks ago when my sister called me and asked if I knew anything about horse anatomy. I laughed, because I thought she was making a joke, especially since she knows I’m scared of horses but she wasn’t kidding. She said that her son had brought home some homework from his science class and that he had to learn horse anatomy and would be having an exam on... Read More

Earlier this year a friend of mine suggested that I take up horse riding when I mentioned that I’d like to get more exercise. I have to admit, when she came up with that suggestion I laughed, because I couldn’t imagine how horse riding would allow me to get more exercise. After all, wouldn’t I be sitting on the back of a horse and saying giddy up? I found out several months... Read More

I am so eager for the holidays to finally be upon us all – which is my favorite time of the year. This year, over Thanksgiving my wife and I will be enjoying fine weather and some great horse riding at her parent’s ranch down in Dallas. They have a good deal of horses boarded there, as they offer horse riding lessons and they breed horse as well as showing and selling them... Read More

My darling wife has always loved horse riding, ever since she was a little kid, growing up on a wonderful ranch in Dallas, Texas with her lovely parents; who are just great people by the way! She was so lucky to have that kind of an upbringing, one that I dreamt of having as a child growing up in the Midwest. She was able to learn about horse riding at a very young age, and... Read More

This past weekend I was watching old horse racing online and I couldn’t help but think about my brother and how much he loves riding. We live on opposite coasts these days but thanks to the Internet we are able to keep in touch regularly. He recently began horse racing with the horse he bought several years ago and according to mom he’s taken home several awards. I’m proud of... Read More

Yesterday my son came home and told me that he needed to learn horse anatomy for Biology class at school. I was a little surprised since I don’t ever remember having to learn horse anatomy in either High School or college and here my son is in Jr. High and he has to learn it. He asked if I could help him find some information on horse anatomy including photos and that sort of... Read More

It wasn’t that long ago when my brother decided that he wanted to start horse racing as a hobby. My mom warned him that horse racing would be an expensive hobby to start, but he was certain that he could get a great horse, train it to do well with racing and then possibly one day be in the Kentucky Derby. I knew he was dreaming high, but I am also a firm believer that anything... Read More

I really love horse riding. In fact, ever since I was little boy and would play cowboys with my friends, I would dream about horse riding and really being in the saddle, as I flew across the rugged terrain on my reliable steed. Such fond days of my youth are easily what have cemented my adoration for horse riding during my adulthood. I now try to get some horse riding in as... Read More

My best friend and I were talking recently on the phone and we were talking about the things that we’d like to do before the end of next year. One of the things I said is that I’d like to go horse riding. She was a little surprised, because she thought that I meant that I’d like to go horse riding in a particular place, like the beach. She was amazed to hear that I’d never... Read More

My daughter came home from school on Friday to tell me that she’d been studying horse anatomy at school. It surprised me that they were studying horse anatomy and not human anatomy, but she said that they were going to start with horses and then study the anatomy of several other things, including humans. She informed me that they’d been discussing it at school for two weeks... Read More

I am so eager for the holidays to roll around again this year. Not only because I love Xmas, but I like to go horse ridingat the huge and gorgeous ranch that my wife’s parents have out in Dallas. Last year we were not able to make it out there for the holidays, but this year we have already purchased our airfare tickets online well in advance, and I plan on getting tons of... Read More

My 16 year old daughter decided several weeks ago after going horse riding with one of her friends, that she now wants to become a veterinarian. Her grades are fantastic and she can pretty much write her own ticket to any school that she wants, and I was happy to see her suddenly become so passionate about something. After she told me about it, she immediately started... Read More
