Hobby Horse Blog Hop Prompts - Week 2:
- Tell us about a special person you associate with your interest in horses. In what ways did(does) the person support you?
- Carousels: Yes or No? Which horse do/did you choose to ride?
- What sort of books did you read when growing up?
- My godmother, Debbie is the first person I associate with my love of horses. She and Flame, who was a horsey saint, make up my earliest memories of horses. Now, it's Mom (the Bionic Cowgirl) and Beel who are my best horse friends.
- Carousels - meh. I'm kind of luke-warm about them. When I was a kid I didn't care which horse I rode on the carousel, as long as it was a horse. There was no way I was getting up on any of the other animals. That just wouldn't be right.
- I had two series I read growing up: Trixie Belden and The Black Stallion. Other books didn't exist. I still have most of both series, though some have been lost/destroyed in moves and I still enjoy picking them up and flipping through them.

Any horse? Why more Haflingers! I just love their big personalities!
I laughed at your comment about not riding other animals on the carousel. I felt the same way. Who wants to sit on a chicken, or a tiger?!!
I think it is so neat that your mom is one of your best horse friends. What a neat relationship you have!
Hmmm...if I could own any horse.....I have two Haflingers staring at me as I type this. They might 'know' if I said I wanted anything but them! And actually, at this time, I can't think of a particular horse I'd like to have.
I don't know of Trixie Beldon. Hmm. I'll have to check into that. I love going back to read all the horse books I grew up with. :D
If I could have any horse it would totally be a purebred Friesian or ten of them lol. My absolute favorite breed.
It's pretty obvious Gundiva didn't stand a chance when it came to growing up loving horses - with me for a mom. Her Godmother was a good friend of mine who GAVE her a horse as a birthday gift (very young age). Not knowing anything about actually caring for a horse at that time, we gave it back and asked for riding lessons instead. Worked out darn good!
It's fun having a daughter who can look across the room at you and you both holler "let's ride" at the same time - as you are running for halters!!
Always thought I wanted a black Arab, just like the Black Stallion, but now I'm really hung up on my Mustangs. Can't imagine having any other horse.

I love Trixie Belden! Woot woot!
If I could own any horse...I would own...an Andalusian like in Knight Hawk that Rutger Hauer rode...yep, yep...that way I could joust at work..and stomp people...and stuff.
Hola - found you though Dreaming...love reading other horse lover's blogs in my part of the country!
Any kind of horse? As a kid it was ANY horse I could get my hands on. I don't know if I can pick a favorite to want to own...I raise and train Quarter Horses, but a good horse is kinda like a good dog...you might have a specific breed in mind, but sometimes the best ones just find you! Like my little Mustang Maggie!
