Horse Related Fantasies

[DoomPony]

Come on, even though we aren’t little girls (or boys) anymore, we all still have a fanciful dream or two involving the creatures we love. From riding on the beach, to being an Olympian, to taming a wild mustang, what’s yours?

Me? I fancy myself riding a gothic horse through the woods at midnight, in a black wedding dress, bareback and helmetless. :yes:

[2DogsFarm]

My fantasy is nowhere near as fanciful as yours

In it I am living in Santa Barbara, CA with staff to care for my horses & house.
And another place in Europe - Holland, Spain or France - we all go to escape weather or boredom.
The End.

I would be able to heal my horse myself, quickly, and cheaply (majjjikkal stuff, ya know), what ever her ailment may be.
How is THAT for a fantasy. (I think I may be jaded…)

I want to ride a mind-boggling musical freestyle, on a fabulously talented Lusitano who can almost read my thoughts, completely mesmerizingly synched to The Who’s “Rain O’er Me.” Hitting one-tempi’s in time to the music!

[Loopy]

HOYS with a homebred.

A Homebred stallion getting inspected as Class 1.

Wow, you folks have really high imaginary goals… Me, i want to get any horse i ride to move off my leg. That is all.

And having somehow managed to pull my left hamstrings and not having been on a horse in weeks, i do not expect to achieve this fantasy any time soon. :sigh:

Although the musical freestyle to the Overseer’s “horndog” would be fun, too.

[Pipkin]

I want to ride dressage well :lol:

Mine was to ride the free running carousel horses from Mary Poppins.
I still want one!!!

[AmarachAcres]

The beach one. Not a lot, but I want a photo of me riding my boy and pony’ing my girl. Just one fab photo without a helmet. But I believe in Murphy’s law, so if it ever happens… it will be with a helmet.

Love the Mary Poppins one.

They used to be much more fantasy-like (and pleasant). Now I dream of rides on my two OTTB mares that don’t involve the “spook, spin, shoulder-drop and bolt”! A girl can dream, right?

[Say_Goodnight_Gracie]

When I was little I used to dream about owning a horse that would behave perfectly, but only for ME.

Now I realize what a pain in the @$$ that would be…:lol:

[zakattack]

Love the Mary Poppins one as well! And I too have always wanted to ride on the beach with my horse (photo documented, of course).

Sigh I would love a fancy Fresian stallion that can do GP dressage and also let me ride it in Medieval reenactments (in addition to my 1.50m warmblood jumper and my Fjord eventing pony )

edit to add: Say Goodnight, thats adorable!

You are so right I had one of those as a kid – the witchiest pony mare who loved me and followed me around, but was a giant PITA for everyone else. Ask my mom what she thought about having to deal with her…

My fantasy used to be riding in the Snowy Mountains like the Man from Snowy River, but now having done that (and it was as amazing as you think it was), I’ve moved on to doing an African safari on horseback.

classmate of mine did that; she said it was fabulous.

…Own a horse (or part of a horse) who wins the Kentucky Derby. Honestly it hasn’t changed that much since I was a little kid except to be okay with being in a partnership on it.

[wireweiners]

I’d like to have a fancy LQ rig and take off to various riding destinations with my horse(s). I’m a big fan of America by Horseback.

[Loopy]

I don’t fancy Africa, but if I ever get chance I’d like to do maybe a coast to coast ride in the UK, possibly the Highlands. Or a route through the Pennines or Exmoor or something, somewhere nice and scenic, perhaps a mix of camping and horse-friendly B&B’s for overnights. Not struck on the idea of riding someone else’s horses though, I’d ideally like to take a couple of my own guys as I think it would be more special.

[Arcadien]

Yeah, the childhood fantasy was the black stallion who only loved me and was wild & uncontrollable for anyone but me - and he apparently could read my mind too lol (probably shouldn’t admit this but I put this fantasy into writing around 11-12 yo, and I still have those 3 “novels” - could never publish, too close to Walter Farley, but actually impressive for an 11 yo!)

Adult fantasies so much more tame - revolving around healthy, fit, sane horses moving steadily up the levels of a chosen discipline - oh and unlimited show/training budget, more land & no debt!

[Hunterpaint]

Riding on the castle grounds in Ireland
Or galloping across the deserts of Egypt

C’mon, it’s a fantasy. Think bigger:D. How about a Triple Crown winner?

Since my fantasy is to breed awesome thoroughbred race horses I’ll give you a good deal on one.

My other fantasy is a horse that literally farts rainbows and poops butterflies…
