I love that!What a great little QH to do that for her!!!<br />It was a very boosting thing for me..I was responsible for myself...I do remember that...as I walked trotted and cantered all the tests all nightin our tiny arena the night before the dressage bit!<br />I agree...let them make mistakes and be accountable...and parents shut up!( I have a very LOW noise tolerance!)<br /><br />Jeni Q <br />I did not do that on purpose...tell a long story without an explaination of the silly brush under the tail! I got goping and then thought...well, they will JUST have to read it all to find out!<br /><br /> I massage her tail and brush its dock clean weekly or she will rub so she is totoaly used to me handling it. She rtather likes it...lifts it away from her behind for me! Some of the horses I have brushged recently have the tightest tails...clammping them down and not allowing me to brush the bone, at all!<br /><br />GHM I did...my pony actully saved my spirit in so many ways! Family life was a bit devastating ..she redeemed it. And so did all my sissy's horses I rode in the summers.good memoriesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-81130884849287953362009-10-20T18:26:03.114-07:002009-10-20T18:26:03.114-07:00You sound as if you had a very nice childhood.

She started out in 4-H, but it was in Pony Club that she really learned the most. I'll never forget our first event. Her horse was lame so she took mine, a black quarterhorse gelding who had always been ridden western. I absolutely cried when I saw him going over the jumps. Such heart. And talk about discipline...what a great learning experience. And the best part!!!!!!<br />parents were not allowed to communicate with their kids at an event...no coaching, no yelling no nothing. All sports should be that way (my humble opinion). Too many parents are out there screaming and embarassing their kids.Lori Skooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458010787337492501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-31583422274164786742009-10-20T15:53:47.038-07:002009-10-20T15:53:47.038-07:00I just dreamed of having a horse.I just dreamed of having a horse.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-67317294311553715922009-10-20T15:53:26.539-07:002009-10-20T15:53:26.539-07:00Wow, I love this post!

I grew up riding horses, but all the horses around us were polo ponies! Tails had to be wrapped to keep them out of the pony's legs - often they were braided and then wrapped. I didn't play polo, haha, but I did get to ride some of the retired ponies. It was so fun. <br /><br />Love your stories!Brenda's Arizonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880225110712592548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-1545476859534153092009-10-20T15:21:42.937-07:002009-10-20T15:21:42.937-07:00I too dreamt of joining the pony club when I was s...I too dreamt of joining the pony club when I was seven :)(inset a big happy sigh) what wistfull dreams we had as children. <br />Nice tail trim!Stephanie - Siouxzeegirl Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118363027417990384noreply@blogger.com
