What makes you attracted to horses? If you ride, why did you decide to ride?

What attracts me to a horse is really hard to explain. I've been attracted to them since I was a little girl. I've always loved to watch them running around in a field or just watching them out in the field eating. I've been around horses alot. My great-uncle he use to have horses all the time when I was younger. I'd love to go and ride. Heck sometimes I'd just go in the field and spend time with them. My cousin that lived with him would always get me to ride with him during the summer. I loved every second of it. He had some beautiful horses! I remember on horse he had there named "Spunky" she was a sorrel quarter horse/walker cross I believe. Gosh I loved that horse! She was so gentle and friendly. Sadly one day some people came and were going to buy her. I could had that horse if my mom and dad had the land to keep her on. I hated after she was gone I was lonely. He only had one horse after her that was young and not broke yet. I didn't go back anymore for along time after she was sold. My dad always promised he get me a horse but it never happened of course now I understand why. We had the land later on when I was in highschool for a horse. Its just they couldn't afford to keep one I guess.

A year after Rob and I were married Rob asked me if I'd like to have a horse. I said sure why,not I've always wanted one! Well we went and looked at horses Babe was the second horse we looked at. We decided to buy here. She was 17 year and 1/2 years old almost 18 years old when I got her. I loved her so much. I learned to ride both english and western. She was a great horse to ride. Unforunetly we couldn't afford to keep her any longer. So we had to sell her a year and half later. It don't seem like a long time. But to me it seemed like I owned her forever. I cried and cried after she was gone.

Hopefully after we get settled into a new home in a few years. And if we can afford it I hope to have another horse or two. I miss being around horses.
