You are absolutely right, Jenn – those friendships definitely ease the sting of an empty wallet each month! I do love the fact that I can have true, honest friendships with people that are so different to me in many ways. Or even people that you only see a few times a year at shows, that horse connection is really a strong bond. Even amongst bloggers there is a sort of kinship and acceptance, even if you’ve never met. I love that about being a horsewoman!

I love this post because it is SO TRUE!

This is particularly true: “Because equestrian friendships transcend age, religion, and sexuality. The language of the horse is enough to sustain a lasting bond.”

All of my long-term, close friendships are because of the shared love of horses.

It’s the love of horses that make you build your life around them and you are wealthier because of it, even when your checking account tells you otherwise!

Thanks, Katie and welcome! Nice to see new faces around these parts. Good luck getting hubby to understand the horse gene – I have long since resigned myself to being the “crazy horse girl!”

I’m sorry to hear that you have had some bad experiences, but isn’t it amazing that you still have the love? There is just something about horses that you can’t get out of your blood once they’re in. I hope that over time you are able to overcome some of your anxiety and truly enjoy them again.

You are so funny, Juliette! Where will your new addition reside – in your game room? LOL!!! You should do it, the more horses the merrier in my book! And you could always move into the stalls, it’s much more practical if you ask me! Everything you need is right there. And while you’re at it, we should all take a lesson from Paint Girl and get a job working with horses. Maybe THEN the urge will be satisfied!

Oh! So simple and yet so very complex.

Even after what I’ve been through and all the pain and suffering and the feelings as if my dreams have been dashed, I still can’t get horses out of my heart. Even though my heart races with fear every time I stand close to my own horse, my heart is also filled with fascination and even love. I’m like a moth being drawn to a flame.

I do love horses.
