Then someone like Anon comes along and reminds me I owe nobody, absolutely not one single person, any of these stories.<br /><br />Read or don't read, like or don't like, it doesn't matter to me. I love sharing them, love the give and take with you guys, but Anon? Don't think it matters to me for one flipping second if you approve of my choice of stories or not.<br /><br />So I guess I can thank you too,you reminded me I write because I enjoy it. I'm not on a time card, I don't get paid, I hope you guys stop by to read, but if you aren't happy with the subject material, there are a lot of nice blogs out there.<br /> mugwumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319060800328355056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-9253581317317941822012-08-26T14:32:31.330-06:002012-08-26T14:32:31.330-06:00Becky is right.

My parents were lower middle class and we didn't have money for horses, lessons, or much of anything else not essential. The best thing to happen to me was when we moved from a fairly bad section of Boston (Dorchester, same as Mark Wahlberg, though I'm older and we left long before he came along :D) to a distant suburb of Boston, and I found not only like minded horsaii girls but finally, after a few years, a place where we could be around horses. It was free (as long as we cleaned stalls, brushed the horses and combed the tails) and every day after school I walked a mile plus to just to get my horse fix. <br /><br />We truly were and are lucky.<br />Scamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04236918959046980355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-12278200592874310442012-08-14T05:54:20.294-06:002012-08-14T05:54:20.294-06:00Wonderful, and so true.Wonderful, and so true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-23817941850810780882012-08-13T09:57:03.478-06:002012-08-13T09:57:03.478-06:00The only reason I'm who I am today despite hav...The only reason I'm who I am today despite having a terrible childhood is because I had a horse.

If anyone would like to help them keep doing it, they need all the money that can get to keep the program going, and help more kids - there's always more kids who need them. Volunteering there was the most inspirational thing I've ever had the honor to be a part of. It's Silver Buckle Youth Ranch in Brush Prairie, WA.
