Oh I know! Brushing the horse (grooming) is exhausting when the horse is all dirty. And horses do like to roll around in the mud. You get an arm workout when you brush them off and a leg workout out when you ride them around
Well imagine they can freely choose whether they are in the shed or outdoors - you know where you'll find them! And on that stable there weren't lessons every day, the horses are on the pasture most of the time. They were actually happy to get ridden, they rushed to get saddled when called.

So some very dirty horses 🙈 to be groomed. And some of the horses, though all of the Finnish variety, were taller than tiny me.

And in the summer it was done outdoors at the boom, which meant carrying everything across some distance. Carrying the saddle is the worst - well you know that, of course.
Still, sounds so much better than going to a gym. I would always rather have accomplished something with my physical efforts. I guess I am just not a gym girl.
I'm not a gym girl either, not at all. But that was just too much. Exhausted from work, air quality problems at work...

Nowadays my exercise is walking to/from bus.
 
That’s totally cool by me. I haven’t groomed a horse in… over 40 years… wow… now I feel old for realizinf that 🤣🤣🤣

I just hate the idea of going to a gym and accomplishing nothing but physical work when there is surely some work I could do instead which would be healthy and have something else done also.
Plus being around horses is therapeutic.
 
OK, keep in mind, the 'vette didn't have an engine, someone always had to push it, and the dream house typically was not water proof, when it rained, it was a mess inside.
The horse though.
True. It was a mess inside, because half the furniture was prone to falling over all the time, and so were most smaller items. All plastic, yuck.

And the quality of clothes 😵‍💫
 
Remember, this is based on my aspirations to be like my Barbie’s. Who’s life I created in my imagination. The only thing I didn’t create was her big tits. And as far as getting those as a grown up, well that was just luck and genetics. If this was a grade, imagine how I feel- I made up the test and still couldn’t pass it 🤣
You are also an A student! No comparing to a plastic life! Xoxo

They do like to work!!! They like to be groomed and they like to be outside. But good god the saddles can be heavy. You should try lifting a western saddle! F that.
I’m going to google Finnish horses! I can’t recall a breed I know to be from Finland.

I don't think the Finnish breed has been exported much, but you'll find it's used quite a lot for racing (with carts, now I don't trust my translator much here...). It's a cold-blooded breed, used for field work in the past. Nowadays taller than it used to be.... And would you believe, I've heard they were grazing free in the villages - I think still in the 19th century! Then started the planned effort to breed them bigger and also to certain colours only.

We actually lost plenty of horses on the war front 1941-45 and there's even a memorial for them.

They look like hardy horses. They remind me of Haflingers which I think are from Austria originally, but they are typically pony size (under 14.2 hands).
The horse I usually ride now is 17.3 hands!!!! Big old thoroughbred.

There are 2 islands off the coast of the eastern states where it’s all wild ponies that just roam free. Well they do that on one island. And every year they swim some of them to the other island to auction them off and prevent over population. I’m surprised we still have wild mustangs out west
