Reply #22: "Family members for life" how TRUE! [View All]

My ex-mother in law gave my daughter a horse for her own when she was 5 (the horse was 7) and they lived on horse property in Central California. My daughter visited every Christmas and Easter break, and every summer when she was growing up.

Eight years ago, they sold the property and liquidated all the horses except my daughter's and he caught a ride down here and came to live nearby at one of the many horse properties in the area. That was when she was in her terrible teens and having her horse in her life made a great deal of difference.

She's 23 now, and works full-time and goes to school and she doesn't ride him anymore, but he's a "school horse" now, and lots of kids learn to ride with him. He's very well-cared for and very loved, and she still sees him from time to time.
