I really love this post - I have loved horses my whole life, and I still own the horse I got at 13 years old (my horse was 3 when I got him). He is now 24 and I adore him. Our daughter is even named after him - Reed.

I was so disapointed with some UK horses being doped so disqualified recently. They are noble creatures. There is an arabic saying "you dog is your slave but your horse is your friend" often in the UK they are treated the other way round.<BR/>Where I live now unfortunately I can't keep horses. I still have my saddle of course. "One day" I tell myself when we have moved again and my back is up to it. Some dreams can't be given up on, just put on the back burner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-16987573438767452982008-08-22T16:38:00.000-04:002008-08-22T16:38:00.000-04:00it's so wonderful to hear people realizing their d...it's so wonderful to hear people realizing their dreams and doing exactly what they envision since childhood. i love horses and still remember the joy of riding. you are going to inspire me to ride again.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274781443181176710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-48768090206909324082008-08-22T01:55:00.000-04:002008-08-22T01:55:00.000-04:00I loved horses as a girl and so did my oldest daug...I loved horses as a girl and so did my oldest daughter.

My older son is following his heart into a military career, which is something that worries me but at the same time pleases me since he found his passion. My younger one, like your husband, lives for his guitar and metal music. That career choice might scare me a bit more. ;) Wonderful post.. and thanks for your visit to my blog.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-15887091031407812052008-08-21T23:10:00.000-04:002008-08-21T23:10:00.000-04:00I myself and my sons don't get it and not even my ...I myself and my sons don't get it and not even my teen daughter.

Living in a suburb of London, it never happened. My father was a musician, and never wanted to be anything else. He loved it. He would play at the Royal Opera House on Saturday night and in the park with some band on a Sunday! What a man. As for dream ambitions, I'm still dreaming...BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800917080090010655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-67435545998356405042008-08-21T13:27:00.000-04:002008-08-21T13:27:00.000-04:00Pamela,You are most welcome for the award.You trul...Pamela,<BR/><BR/>You are most welcome for the award.<BR/><BR/>You truly are a creative artist.<BR/><BR/>MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149490578032892476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-28244668922927351492008-08-21T10:57:00.000-04:002008-08-21T10:57:00.000-04:00Pamela,I just adore your blog, so I could not resi...Pamela,<BR/><BR/>I just adore your blog, so I could not resist sending you an award.<BR/><BR/>It's at Sunbonnet Cottage for you. <BR/><BR/>Your blog inspires the creativity buried deep inside of me.<BR/><BR/>MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149490578032892476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-61610756203338389192008-08-21T10:27:00.000-04:002008-08-21T10:27:00.000-04:00What a poignant post this is... it makes me humble...What a poignant post this is... it makes me humble and thankful that after years of sacrifice, I am now pursuing my dream of being an artist and having some success.

I've always drawn and had early 'commissions' (from teachers, and my orthodontist, etc..) to create things for them, but by the time I got to college I felt I needed to be more practical and went into computer science/statistics instead.

Luckily, the rest of us sometimes stumble into our passions on accident and begin the love affair a little later.

It is if they know how to talk to each other without every speaking. When we were younger we shared a bedroom and I recall when she was around the age of three her talking to a horse in her sleep. Then at one point she raised her arm and pointed in the air saying "see the horsey." Just thinking of it made me smile.Jojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843762553010099404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-79869499383808575802008-08-20T18:29:00.000-04:002008-08-20T18:29:00.000-04:00Wonderful etching and post Pamela.Wonderful etching and post Pamela.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874781381364710459noreply@blogger.com
