What is the "proper" age to stop believing in the Easter Bunny, Santa, well-behaved Thoroughbreds, etc.?

I’m not quite sure, but I think it’s around one of these times…

I still believe in Santa Clause. I just wish he would stop by my house with a brand new Dually.

I must have been really bad, because I haven’t seen him in quite a while.

Why wouldn’t anyone believe? They’re all real.

I never said there wasn’t an easter bunny, santa claus, or a well behaved TB, but going by the popular belief (the world over, not in this particular circle… you’re all nuts )I was asking when one should at least make a half-hearted attempt to join the rest of the world in some semblance of sanity.

in our house at all this year, not even a Godiva Bunny showed up for me

Wings is a good boy, though. Sure wish he’d give his baby sister a talking to.

Whaddya mean there’s no Easter Bunny!?!

Winglet I warn you, don’t go there. The real world is a very scary place. Avoid it as long as you can.

Well behaved TBs are just like Santa Claus - as long as you believe in 'em, they exist!!!

How come nobody mentioned Hannukah Harry?

I’m not quite sure, but I think it’s around one of these times…

WHAT!!!

Oh Pi you are the most wonderful horse, and I believe you CAN WIN…

Sheesh, of course I believe!!What else is there??!!

I have a well behaved TB. He’ll only buck if he’s in pain, stop if I screw up bad, spooks only about once a month, stands still on the cross ties, keeps his foot is the water if I am soaking it, etc. I could have a better TB Of course, he paws on the trailer. Can’t be perfect, I guess! :stuck_out_tongue:

Here comes Santa Claus

Peeps are in fact their very own food group

Of course, no one mentioned Hannukah Harry because he really DOES exist!

Hey, well-behaved Thoroughbreds DO exist!! My Thoroughbred (a CHESTNUT MARE, no less!) is such a sweetie, she is so gentle and so easy to ride and handle! I just LOVE her, she is such a great horse!! As even Michael Matz agrees – he just had to say, wow, what a good horse!

Sorry, I’ll stop bragging now.

Ride the wind, and be at one with your horse!

elizabeth looks at the COTH BB group, innocent brown eyes wide and big with sadness. as a single tear slips through her eyelashes, she whispers “There is no Easter Bunny? There is no Santa??”

Is Halloween, when the ghouls and goblins come out. Of course, they’re always around, but they disguise themselves as children…

they exist, in fact, Wings is about the sweetest thing you ever laid eyes on, so much so that I think his papers must be forged and he is really part Welsh or maybe Shetland Pony (though he IS a bit large for that…) I only mentioned them because I had to be able to say, “look mom, it’s horse related!”

I know there’s no Santa or Easter Bunny, like, duh!

But I wanna know when I’m gonna meet my dream date, Mr. Spock.
