Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been
obsessed with horses. For as early as I
can remember, I requested a pony for my birthday, Christmas and any other
occasion that I expected a gift of some sort. My mother would often ask me where would the
pony live? I was convinced that I could raise
the pony in the backyard and all would be right with the world. Now you have to
imagine me as a little girl in Jersey with a decent sized backyard trying to
convince my mom why my sisters and I needed to have a pony. I even had an answer to my mom when she asked
where would I take the pony when it needed to run? Each year, I had the ultimate plan. I
remember mentioning, that it can go for a run on the street, run around in
circles in the backyard and back and
forth the drive way. And my all time
favorite suggestion was allowing the horse to run in the abandoned wooded area
behind our home. Hey – it all made sense
in my head when I was little. I’m glad
that my mom never gave into my whims, she definitely always knew better, that’s
for sure. What the heck would I have
done with a pony at 5 years old? Do you have any funny childhood request that
you’re grateful that your parents didn’t just give in? I know that I can think of plenty more requests,
but that’s the funniest that comes to mind. Anyways, for this week’s Fresh
Picks to Follow, here are my top ten horse inspired items that are
definitely born to run out of the stores. Do any of you have a love for horses
like I do? Let me know in the comments.
