I have had honey for 7 years. Well, she isn’t fully mine. My neighbors moved in 7 years ago with her, and i fell in love with her. They let me take care of her, ride her, and love her. Then her owner, who was by then my hero, broke her back. Honey was forogtten, and I had to take care of her FULL TIME. Hard work for an 11 year old.. I have proved myself a horse whisperer, so now i have mroe responsiblitly and people look to me for advice. Honey has had a hard life, like me. She founders alot, and it’s been a tough road. She’s been on her death bed about 10 times. She survived, becasue she wasn’t done with me yet(: and i wasn’t done with her. She wasn’t done changing kid’s lives, just like she changed mine. I would problaby be with all the stoners with out my horses. They have kept me on my feet. She will always be mine, and i will always be hers, till the day she dies.

Your horse is beautiful!
Make sure you reduce alfalfa and grains. Prob no grains.
Reduce grass and no sweets. Don’t over feed.
What a cute story! I think horses are so healthy for children your age. I got my first pony at age 7 and it did keep me out of trouble. I was active in 4-H and had to ride my pony after school, feed it, etc.
Remember to read a lot, it will help you learn more about horses. I read every horse magazine and book I could get my hands on! Also, try to take some lessons if you can. Horse riders are never done learning!
