6. I had one and now I have a bunch of horses.
I used to ride horses to school as a kid in southern California.
It was a great way to grow up.

7. Cool!
Where did you keep the horses when you were at school? Was there a paddock or stable there?

9. There was a big paddock that all the horses were turned out
in during the day. Then we had to go catch them after school.
That was usually the most difficult part of the school day.

8. I had three ponies.
One like to have killed my dad and brother when it took out across the hiway, dumped the cart they were in, and headed to the railroad tracks.

I like horses better than ponies. All of the ponies we had were REALLY feisty.

16. Nope.
I wanted a Harley.
I used to watch a neighbor who had a Harley ride it up and down the block. He'd sometimes give us rides(w/ permission from our parents). He also had the coolest tatoos ever. I wanted a tatoo when I was a child because of him.

21. No...
I think I was the only little girl on the face of the planet who didn't want one. I just never understood what the big deal was about them.

24. Sorta
I told my mom I wanted to go live with "Uncle X" so I could have a horse (he raised quarterhorses). What I actually meant was "I want to go live with Uncle X so I don't have to put up with your and Dad's crap anymore."

26. What kid did never want a pony?
I always wanted a pony as a child. But, of course, my parents would not even consider buying one, though I did get a lot of stuffed pony toys. It wasn't until I was an adult that I was finally able to buy a real live horse.
