I’ll be up front – I’m one of those women who has always known that she does. not. want. kids. Period. End of story. Not up for debate. I mean, I stayed short enough to ride large ponies, so I really don’t have a need for a child of my own. That said, some of my friends kids are prone to moments of awesome. Ryan and I grew up riding together and as expected, her daughter, Alice caught the horse-bug too. In addition Alice loves trains. I’m slowly but surely working on getting Ryan to join us at an Event. I’m thinking the closing move on my strategy may have to go with “Hey Alice, what if there was a horse show that had trains too? Wouldn’t THAT be fun?”
