This was in my America's Horse magazine that arrived today. It really gave me a chuckle...

"When I was about 5, my older sister and I decided that ponies were the center of the universe. We became ponies, jumping over stumps in the forest, whinnying and stamping all through the backyard, down the driveway and along the road. Later, we humbly bowed our heads to receive the invisible Olympic medals we awarded each other: gold for my sister, silver for me. At bedtime, we read about horses.

"We thought the best book ever written was 'Jill Enjoys Her Ponies'. All this happiness came to an abrupt halt when I was 7 and our parents bought us a living, breathing pony. Bobby was 4 years old, with a dirty white coat, the build of a soccer ball and the soul of Charles Manson."

That is great!

I did the same thing - I used to pretend I was a horse ALLLLLL the time. I even would get on my 4's and make my hands into a fist to mimic hooves, and I would gallop around my house and rearing and whinnying.

I would be out in the forrested areas on our property, doing just as she did - whinnying and galloping around jumping things I could jump.

Too funny.

The funniest part - is her comment about the Chares Manson pony. LOL - guess she figured out HER Pony wasn't the greatest thing.

Very cute! Thanks for sharing!

i use to play "horse" with my sister. she would put the long dog leash around my arm and "lunge" me. then she would comb and style my hair for the "shows". we use to jump over things in the yard as well. brings a tear to my eye to think about those days.

When I was younger and nobody was looking, I would do half-passes alone xD I still can't do a half-pass on a horse lol I think I would have made a GREAT dressage horse.

LOL!! That made my day and very possibly tomorrows day as well :wink:
I was the only one in my family besides cousins and aunt and my dad that loved horses. They lived in a whole other state, but one year I visited and they had given me this toy horse that moved. It would run, whinny, rear, and was rather fluffy. So I played with this horse through the day and night it came EVERYWHERE with me. At one point its leg went a little lame....When it reared it would topple to the side and when it ran...well it ran much like my horse does now :shock: ****. So I had to strategically tie a rubber band around its leg. Eventually I got older and I passed my lovely pony on to someone else who loved it even with it being lame and bald bc I groomed it all the time.... :lol:
