My Life as a Horse Owner

Hello everyone.
I'm sure everyone has seen a post from me one time or another. My daughter is forever asking questions about our two horses. This forum helps me answer them. How many people have children that ask questions ALL the time?

I think all parents suffer that fun stuff with their children, what you dont remember being like that as a child, I sure do!

I don't have kids, but the ones that hang around barns are always asking questions:what are you doing? why? does it bother her? would it bother her if you did_____? lol
But I'd rather they ask so they can learn the proper answer than learn somewhere else and be given the wrong one and risk getting hurt.

Exactly. When a kid asks something that means that he is interested in knowing what is it or how to do it. Let's make sure that we answer them with a definite answer. If we don't know they we tell them honestly and try to look for the answers ourselves. Then tell them later after we found out the answer.

This forum is the exact place where we could find those answers for those questions.

Kids will indeed ask tons of questions because horses are something they have never come into contact with and they are different than the family dog/cat/goldfish. We normally recommend getting a book from the library to help with questions. They have lots of great horsey how-tos these days for children, teens and adults. Pick out one or more for both of you and read up. And if you can't find the answer asking here is a good choice.

I love being able to answer my kid's questions. Because we don't have a horse yet (hopefully this summer) I want them to know as much as they can. This forum does that for me. And the nice thing is, I learn too.

My kids do that too lol, but this forum helps answer all their horse related questions. I find it better to learn from other peoples experiences rather then from a book.
