My passion for riding and owning horses has quieted, but my interest in them has not dulled one bit. And like many of you, I had shelves and shelves of ceramic horses over my bed growing up, and my favorites had lots of glued-on legs, too. I still have some Breyer Horses (and a donkey) on my bookshelf. It says a lot about who we are. I'll probably take them to the rest home with me someday. LOL It's a statement. Enjoy your finding and buying and collecting streak. It sounds like a fun new adventure for you.Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-89109291148569370242012-05-22T12:08:42.160-07:002012-05-22T12:08:42.160-07:00Jami--hang on to those valuable ones!

I had dozens of wooden and plastic horses, and loads of small turquoise ceramic ones. My daughter still has a few. I love how you're so excited about hunting for these horses!<br /><br />I think it's interesting how our...interests change over the years, how our motivation for certain things appears, evolves, sometimes disappears, possibly to return later on. All those surprises yet to come :) May they all be good ones!

Change is is sometimes embraced, other times it drags you, kicking and screaming, all the way. Yet, no matter how it comes, it always has attached, some small delight just waiting for us to find it and relish the feelings of change.Pattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093706178631084468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-66440438949686751392012-05-21T17:35:51.989-07:002012-05-21T17:35:51.989-07:00I used to have about 200 Breyers, but I sold all o...I used to have about 200 Breyers, but I sold all of them except the oldest and most valuable.

My Steiff pony was loved 'bare' and none of my Breyers is totally intact! Too much 'riding' going on in my bedroom. I think you and I have the same trail riding joy. Only you have to absolute best trails.<br /><br />Susan, I am glad you found a good home for your Breyers. If your sister gets sick of them, let me know! I hope you still do get to ride. :)Alisonhttp://www.alisonhartbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-80570963175917747862012-05-21T14:45:07.549-07:002012-05-21T14:45:07.549-07:00I feel the same way.

She claimed them after I left home. They're in good hands. She likes to collect stuff and I don't feel the need.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04986249712144982103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-303978783764416522012-05-21T13:48:23.311-07:002012-05-21T13:48:23.311-07:00What a great post, Alison.

In my twenties and thirties I lived to train and compete. Now, in my fifties, I am absolutely content with casual trail rides. But my horses are still a very big part of my life--I can't imagine a time when walking down to my barn to feed in the morning and evening (and at noon, too--I spoil them) isn't one of the main features of my day. Like you, I have kept my horses with me for many years, and I hope always to do so. But I haven't (yet) recaptured my childhood passion for ceramic horses, though I still have four that date from my youth and look very like the one you posted a photo of. Unfortunately, I think all mine have legs that were glued back on. And I couldn't sell them, anyway. They reside in my little boy's room, and I still remember the names I gave them as a child. The palomino one was named "Sunshine"--a foreshadowing, do you think?Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.com
