I firmly believe the best way to help a person is to teach them to help others, in this case helping a horse who needs work.

I can say with all honesty she saved my life. I was in a depressed bitter state and was found myself in the company of no one who cared. Then this wonderful woman took me in and She taught me how to work with her Arabian mares. Because of her I am now training horses and teaching lessons to children who have little in life. I wish you the best on your journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-28481320824651069172012-11-30T15:43:15.039-07:002012-11-30T15:43:15.039-07:00Incredible, awesome idea!

Someday, though.<br /><br />My childhood wasn't ideal, to put it mildly, and I can honestly tell you that horses are the only reason I am here today. They saved my life. Horses opened up a world of patience, forgiveness and unconditional love that I never knew existed. They taught me the difference between discipline and abuse, and the difference between respect and fear. They made me who I am.<br /><br />I hope you can do this, because it will make a difference in someone's life. I know that from experience.

You and your husband will teach them life and coping skills and open up avenues otherwise unavailable. Way cool :)<br /><br />I would really love to adopt someday, once my husband and I are sure we're done having biological kids. So far we are at 1, might have another, might not. If we don't, we will adopt. The idea of giving a child without a home a permanent one is just amazing. summersmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545553348128321600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-75398613306721806252012-11-30T12:27:33.308-07:002012-11-30T12:27:33.308-07:00Very cool, very noble, be very careful.

There is so much academic literature about the psychology of fostering, but not very many down to earth personal accounts. If you can be the online friend that people turn to, to share experiences about fostering that could create a better support system for fostering parents who have mushed together under the care of a single, harried social worker who's stretched to thinKatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-23607408015881176612012-11-30T07:38:39.009-07:002012-11-30T07:38:39.009-07:00That sounds wonderful!That sounds wonderful!strivingforsavvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070004292603118407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-11457183806419930812012-11-30T07:25:49.150-07:002012-11-30T07:25:49.150-07:00Awesome.
