That Connection with A Horse

"It's about that connection with the horse that makes it special." - Yana

      It's July and Yana gets restless with the rains. Just a few more days and it'll be Yana's 14th birthday. For the past 4 years since she started riding at 10 years old, all she ever ask on her birthday is to spend the day riding. 

     Unfortunately, she's born on July and lives in the Philippines!

     When I was a child, July is a rainy season. But in this generation, July is typhoon season! Needless to say, the past recent birthdays were under typhoon days. Meaning, it was either she didn't get to ride or went on riding in the rain (only when there's no thunder and lightning).

     "Sana walang ulan or bagyo sa birthday ko Mommy." she said. (Mom, I hope there's no rain or typhoon on my birthday.) 

     What's with girls and horses anyway?  

     Yana would rather skip shopping for new clothes to save up for a horse. And I'm sure anyone else with horse fever is the same.

     An article tries to explain this "horse addiction". It is a good read. The full article is here Why Women Love Horses

     Simply put. It's a special connection. A level of deep communication. Sort of romantic in a way :)  (wink,wink)

  1. Same with my girl :) she wants horse riding than party. She wants to receive envelope money (hong bao) as presents to save for more riding lessons. She also tried joining art competition hoping to win a prize, sells stuff...all for horse ridung. Dont know how far will she go cause she's still young,might still change her interests. And yes, she was also dreaming of having a pet horse.
