Ruby's 1st lesson

Ruby has always liked horses, but after a one hour lesson Ruby has become obsessed with horses. She googles "horses for sale in Oregon" and eventually found one nearby that she was really excited about because it was only $125. I looked at the site and explained that it was $125,000.00. I tried and tried to explain that a horse is not like a $6 rat that you pick up at the pet store.  I explained how you need a truck and trailer, tack for the horse and a barn. She said "Dad can totally build a barn... in like 2 days!"... While that may be true, I told her that we will still NEVER buy a horse.

This completely devastated Ruby. So to avoid any long term damage requiring therapy, I said if she saves up her own money for a horse we will help her with the barn.

I really hope this horse obsession passes quickly.
