my horse phase
Sep 12th, 2008 by melinda
I was in 4th grade when I went through my horse phase. I think every American girl goes through a horse phase, or at least it seems like it. I wanted all the horse gear - the helmets and riding pants and Lucchese boots that the girls in all my favorite books wore. I wanted a horse too, of course, although I think I was hoping for the magical kind of horse that never pee’ed or poo’ed or needed brushing, but was always available whenever I wanted to have fun. My wonderful mother got me enrolled in some horseback-riding lessons at a local stable, though I was never very good at it! It was a fun time, though, and a good stable.
