I recently came across this thread and thought it would be a really neat idea if I created my own journal. I am fourteen years old and have been riding horses for as long as I can remember. I have worked at a local Horse Stables two days per week for the past four years of my life. I have done everything imaginable to show my parents that I am responsible. I am not a "spoiled brat" and I am not "stuck up" about money. I am down to Earth and understand that with the economy this way, it makes everything that much harder. My parents are not millionaires, and we do not have a fancy big house. Honestly, I would love to own my very own horse, but if it's not possible right now, then that is that. :'(
Anyway, I reside in Boca Raton, Florida. If you don't know where that is, you aren't missing much, don't worry! It consists of all those lovely, rich brats who love nothing less then to brag about how much money they get each week. It's ridiculous. My favorite thing is to hold my lesson horse, Cody, tight, and whisper into his ear all the situations I'm going through. He always seems to understand. :)
