Question for family who've grown up next to horses?
I 15 and I love horses. The thing is I see all these other girls about age 10 and younger who've be around horses all their lives. They seem so sweet and gentle natured. I'm a big time dreamer/planner... When I draw from married and have children (I really want a little girl!) I'm hoping to get my kids into horses and animals hugely early. Do you think there are benefits for children who grow up around horses? I'm also thinking I may want to homeschool my kids...opinion on this??
Thanks!
Having to take care of animals in broad tends to re-enforce your nurturing instincts.
I don't care for home-schooling though... your kids need to draw from away from you for a while... to see how other people think, and how other empire handle issues.
I presume that any animal is a good experience for children,horses are especially good because whether you get a gentle horse you don't have to verbs about the child getting hurt as much,and also the child cant really hurt the horse much,and there are other benefits,riding helps add to balance,and also you have to care for something,but whether you get them an animal,make sure they pocket care of them for themselves when they are old enough,it teach really good responsibility (cleaning stalls and brushing and such)...and lets not forget about friendship,and respect,a horse will educate a child to respect animals,and I know my horse is always there when I need a hug,or someone to parley to...all in all have animals is a good learning experience for children I believe.
I don't ponder there are benefits to having horses in the carriage you are suggesting. I grew up with horses, and many of my horse-riding counterparts my age were aim, nasty, stuck-up, and cruel. Just like many other kids. It adjectives comes down to parents. While being partially responsible for the care of an animal (any animal, not a moment ago a horse) can help to teach a child a sense of compassion and responsibility, that only works for children whose parents equally are compassionate and responsible and treat the animals accordingly.
As far as homeschooling, I was homeschooled briefly in elementary college and I have numerous friends from college who were homeschooled their in one piece elementary through high school years. What I have notice is common in every case is that while they largely enter the larger world after school as gentle, polite, mature individuals near an idealistic world view, they really have a difficult time integrating into college and the larger world. They aren't used to planned courses that can not be rearranged around the rest of their life, they aren't used to the cruelties of their contemporaries, and they just plain do not relate ably to people in their own age group. I have also see several of my homeschooled peers become extremely depressed when they discover that a lot of people are just really cruel for no use, and that the world does not work the way it should, or go totally hogwild in college next to drinking, drugs, and sex. Being offered all that freedom and exposure to the larger world at once is overwhelming, and while some kids can cope with it, many don't. Parents of homeschooled children habitually homeschool to protect their kids from the cruelties of the world, or control what they learn. They have a lot more control over the kids their children socialize beside, too. While it's a nice theory, in reality, normally it does not prepare them for the 'real world' in the way that institution does. Better, in my view, is to be an involved parent and provide supplemental instruction to your children at home within the areas you feel were not sufficiently covered in university, while allowing them to attend school. Just my two cents on that issue.
I grew up on a family horse farm, we have public riding for individuals who don't have horses and want to go riding, we own 58 horses. The only piece i think i benefit from growing up with horses that i know alot about them and im a really flawless rider.
I grew up around horses, and so has my mom,and she told me that it help her get her driver's permit. she had to memorize that you have to may attention on the road and know that there are some impolite people out there. Another thing she get was balance from riding bareback,and strength from staying on bucking horses. I think it is great to grow up on on a sheep farm.
If you grow up with horses you tend to have them adjectives your life. Mind your 15 you can change our mind
Answers: well your only 15 so you have awhile until this happen right?
but I am one of those people who think about things really precipitate and get really excited about things too!
like i really want a dinosuar but i dont chew over that is going to happen :)
haha but i definetly think kids who grow up near horses have so many more benefits than other kids because horses are very affectionate animals and children who grow up next to them can learn to be affectionate... I personally think it would be a great perception to grow up with horses and have a nice family!
Great Wishes and Luck to you!!
