I am sixteen years old, my family will help provide the finances, I know a bit about horses. When I was nine years old a family friend got us into horses, I have owned three. The first horse was beautiful and drugged up, we had him for about three months he had a terrible biting problem.The second one was my lightening, I loved her, but she would kick my mom and was to green for me at that time. My third horse was Shalimar, I loved him so much. He was my boyfriend. Beautiful, he was a great jumper and used to be showed in his early years. Great to ride, he liked to go fast but he knew MY limits. I bonded with him so much, I would just hop on his back in the middle of the pasture with no saddle or anything and spend the day with him. It was AMAZING.

But eventually all my horse loving friends moved away, we had to change from a 60-70 acre barn with lots of other horses to a 5 acre barn with two donkeys. My once wonderful horse developed terrible habits thanks to the pervy donkeys. He couldn't run which gave him all this extra energy. School often overwhelmed me to the limit of not being able to visit him every day.

I felt terrible, seeing all these things happened made me lose interest. We sold him to my trainer, who ended up competiting in shows with him and put him in a wonderful, expensive huge stable. He was happy [:

I had him for three years. Now three years later, I have been thinking about horses like crazy again, reading every article, story, anything I can get my hands on. We may be moving (probably) on a foreclosure nearby. I want another horse. But I am a junior I have three more years here before I go off to college a few hours away. (I'll be doing the local junior college for two years to get my basics) Would that be unwise? Unfair? I have missed horses since I sold Shalimar, but I don't want to board somewhere I couldn't visit everyday. Now I could have a few horses on my property.

Also, what do you think the price would be monthly to own a horse on your property? The place already has a barn (it needs fixing up, but it's workable)

Super long, but I want the truth and I needed to tell someone. (My mom doesn't want me brining it up until we FOR SURE have the house. But I have a feeling we are going to get it. They talk about it all the time)
