I owe my life to PC! I have so many fond (and OK, some not so fond) memories of Pony Club instructors and events.

Anyway, I really enjoyed your post, and totally agree with everything you say about so many young people lacking a passion in life these days, and spending far too much time in front of their computer screens. A friend of mine is at a loss with her 19 year old son who is interested in nothing at all, who doesn't know what to do with himself, has no desire to do anything with himself and simply loiters the days away with a group of other kids his age. So sad. I've been lucky that my daughter shares my passion, and that my son has a passion of his own, skateboarding. Unfortunately, my son is currently in hospital following reconstructive ligament surgery yesterday morning after a skateboarding accident a few months ago. But he's raring to get back on his skateboard and, hopefully, be rigorous with his rehabilitation and physiotherapy. <br /><br />I also hope for a follow up on your trip to Texas. I hope it wasn't too hot!!!Francesca Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201599087106798500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-53152267242632238382011-06-21T08:01:34.963-07:002011-06-21T08:01:34.963-07:00Hi Terri, I hope you will post a follow-up on your...Hi Terri, I hope you will post a follow-up on your time spent in Texas and any interesting stories.

I do hope that he will always remember riding through the hills and woods with me, and that those memories will bring him a smile. (I'm glad you think I live in Paradise--and I do love my home--but I was careful not to post photos that show the many overgrown bits that need mowing and/or weeding--just so you're not too jealous.)Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-81032355437677812742011-06-20T10:50:39.730-07:002011-06-20T10:50:39.730-07:00This is a great post, Terri.

In my research for a paper on why girls and women become passionate about horses, nearly every person mentioned a mentor or someone in their past who shared their interest. And if not us to do this now, then who? We all know, in our hearts, how wonderful it is to be involved with horses, and how empowering it is for young women to be around horses. And today especially, with so much technology to otherwise occupy young people, it's so important to share our knowledge, our joy, and our passion. Bravo to you for doing so, and encouraging all of us. Great stuff! And it does take a village . . .Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.com
