I was a horse crazy little girl when I was younger. My sister and I went to the Pony Club Events in England and enjoyed it so much! We would go and watch the best people we could find. I liked horses very very much back then. Then we had to move to New Zealand because mum wanted to move closer to her family.
The first time I rode in New Zealand was on a horse named Saffron. Saffron was a very beautiful chestnut horse. Once I had ridden her I had actually become obsessed. I was older now and I didn't just like horses, I loved them. I had always been a horse crazy girl but now that I had moved to New Zealand things had changed. This was it - this was my big chance with horses. But then things changed again.
My sister started to do riding but my mum didn't want me to do riding because it was my sisters thing and she wanted me to find a different sport to enjoy. Then my sister broke her arm so she had to take a break from riding for a while. My dad didn't want to continue paying for riding lessons, so we disengaged from horses completely.
It was years later until I found my way back to horses. Walnut Ranch is an Equestrian Centre and Petting Zoo about 20 minutes from my house. I came there about half way through 2012 and I have loved it ever since. They have given me many more opportunities than I could have ever dreamed. I got my own horse to care for and a free lease. They took me to my first show where I placed in the top 3. I will thank them forever for all they have done and helped me with. I have learned so in such a short time.
Thank you Walnut Ranch. You have helped me so much and I will never forget what you have done for me. You brought me back to horses! |

Special thanks to my sister who tried to get me into horse earlier, and who found out about Walnut Ranch. I will never forget the stuff you did to help me find my way back to horses sooner. Thanks Spur.
