For me there is no "one" things. The bottom line is - they make happy, make me fell at home, make me complete. I would die without being involved with horses, and I truly believe that. My life would end, in one way or another, I just wouldn't be the same person. They make me what I want to be.Boss Mare Eventinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039910692009593158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941830352879493498.post-15281680690521942222013-07-25T20:27:20.118-07:002013-07-25T20:27:20.118-07:00I love developing the relationship with a horse.

I like having my horse because I know him and I enjoy seeing him develop over the years. <br /><br />As for you? You've stuck with her this long, haven't gone backward in training, and seem to be enjoying yourself, so I think that means a lot.

I love the shows too, the competition, the friends and the 'vacation' with your horse.Justaplainsamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399124494395034612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941830352879493498.post-66312689563935604662013-07-25T17:25:55.897-07:002013-07-25T17:25:55.897-07:00Thank you for this post Mona!

I won't write out my thoughts here, as they really are a lengthy tangle, but I will definitely be writing them down on my blog. I've put in a link to you, coz I think this is something that every equestrian should at least think about, if not answer. :) <br /><br />bonita of <a href="http://www.aridinghabit.blogspot.com.au/%22" rel="nofollow">A Riding Habit</a>Lavender and Twillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331125027969557539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941830352879493498.post-67056053533383704712013-07-25T10:54:12.677-07:002013-07-25T10:54:12.677-07:00I love horses, and I love competing.
