She will learn responsibility, compassion, hard work, sportsmanship, trust, undying devotion, and so much more. Her horse will be there no matter what. Her horse will learn as much as she teaches it. Her horse will listen to her complain her way through her teenage years of unfair parents, unfair teachers, lost loves, crappy friends, and all the other trials of our teens. Megan will learn that hard work usually pays off, and that patience will get her horse to perform much better than anger. She will learn that sometimes timing is everything, and that one missed lead, or delayed post happens at the exact time the judge is looking. She will learn that sometimes her best, her very best, is not good enough to win but is good enough to feel proudly about her performance and hold her head high. You will cry with her wins and her losses, and you will be amazed at her growth. She will get hurt, and may not be truthful about how badly at the time, for fear of losing her riding time. It will be the wonderful...just wait and see!!! If you have any questions, call me... i taught adult ed as well as kids in 'horse.'Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677319416152176198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423913742692376114.post-7864505369766407242007-10-09T11:45:00.000-04:002007-10-09T11:45:00.000-04:00Just you wait.

She did shows for many years until college then went to pursue something else.<BR/><BR/>But at 28, she went back to a great equestrian school and graduated. She now works in Florida for some rich people training and grooming and is looking to work her way up.<BR/><BR/>She loves it as I'm sure Megan will love it too.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07979619528040969917noreply@blogger.com
