Owning a Horse Taken a Lot of Time and Effort

Horse ownership is a commitment, but some families discover that keeping horses brings them closer together. Horses need to be cared for on a daily basis: children can help feed, water and curry them. Caring for an animal teaches responsibility and fosters an affectionate relationship, something many people find a vastly rewarding part of life. If you live in the city or can't have a horse for other reasons, you can still participate in equestrian interests by way of magazines and horse shows, attending carriage races or visiting old-fashioned blacksmith and farrier shops to see how these experts work with horses. A love of horses may lead your youngster into 4-H and later into veterinary medicine: interacting with horses will certainly open up a new and real world to children who might otherwise spend all their time in the virtual world.
