I'm 11 years old, and I'm on my 3rd year of riding but have lessons with a girl who's on her 4th. I ride twice a week. I have rented ponies 3 times before, two times for 2 weeks, once for one week. The last time most of it was barn work, sweeping, grooming, helping kids, cleaning outside puddles, doing dishes. I also go to the stables when I can at breaks, for a few days or whenever I have time, to help out. I've read something like 11 books word-for-word and others skimmed through. There are 2 paddocks behind my house- 1 has many horses, 1 sometimes has 1-3 Friesians in it. I love horses soooo much!! I'd like opinions on whether I would be a good horse owner or not, and if so, how can I convince my parents?? I've already done a 48 page slideshow, tried to talk to them but my mother starts raising her voice and I don't want to push my luck. Any advice?
