Ramsey, that's kind of my goal. Some day, I'd like to open a riding center/program for emotionally damaged girls. Girls who have been through and dealt with things that no child should have to deal with, ever. It'll be your typical lesson barn, but there will also be the option to live "on campus" if the need arises - if a girl has no where else to go, it'll be there for them. There will be horses, hard work, play time, friendship, and most of all, love - from the horses most definitely, but also from me (and whatever staff I have).
It's a diamond in the rough and hopefully I'll get there someday.
Amanda :D

I'm afraid to make contact, afraid to break the spell. He swings his neck around and presses his muzzle up against me, blowing against the cotton of my shirt. And then I touch him, actually feel the warmth of his flesh under my fingers. And suddenly everything, everything, everything is okay."

Jade was so untrained. Within the fisrt week she tore my rotator cuff in my shoulder. She would run off when trying to get her. She had no ground matters what so ever. Now, she 2 and a half and she is truly the best horse I've ever worked with. She learns fast and is willing to try anything. I'm taking my time with her. She's been out on the trails being ponied and has had the saddle and bridle on and I've sat on her but I'm in no big hurry and she won't start getting rode for another year or so. She is truly a dog in a horses body, lol She was mad because I put her in a little spot while I was working with the other horses. If I don't move her then I can't work with the other horses, because she is in your face

FRIENDS ARE OVER RATED,MY BEST FRIEND IS MY HORSE......
Don't look in my backyard until you look in your own...I would rather spend my days with pets then people, because way to many people are fake in this world.Courage is being scared to death but saddling up any ways...
RELIEVE STRESS>GO FOR A RIDE...

I wouldn't worry or focus on it too much... I'm betting the idea behind the 1000 post requirement is mainly to be sure that you fit in as part of the community. The more you focus on it the longer it will seem to take and the less likely that you will be to hang around the forums and enjoy the conversations... kwim?
