30+ year long grail!
« on: January 20, 2012, 01:06:34 PM »
As a horse-mad child (born into an anit-horse family) I had 3 major goals. 
 
#1 Own a horse!  I finally wore my parents down at age 15 when I got my first ever pony, Miganette.
#2 Own a lifestyle property!  We accomplished this 5 years ago when we bought 3 acres of land beside the beach
#3 Have my own all-weather riding surface!  Still working on this one!
#4 Have my own tack room!  Check out below :)
 
We built a 3 bay shed a couple of years ago to store my float, hay etc in and now hubby has built me a room at the back of one of the bays.  Behold, my tack room!!!

The round metal thing on the floor at the back is an air compresser so I can pump up my float tyres before I go anywhere.
 
And the unfinished corner.  I am waiting for cover racks and a storage shelf so I can arrange all of my covers which are currently still stored in the garage:

Its very cool to see someone have a childhood dream and actually stick to it, meeting their goals and succeed, so I applaud you on that.  :hug:

Oh, that is awesome! Sounds like you have some nice property too. Ownin' land is nice. I used to live in the boonies with 12 acres all to myself. Now I live in an apartment with a balcony. I miss the space!

Thank you everyone. I am kind of lucky in that I have always been one to set long term goals/dreams for myself.  I wanted a horse so badly when I was in my teens so I guess I never grew out of the hobby like a lot of my friends did.  :D

I'm really happy for you, what a great tack room!  I'm also the only horsey one in my family.  No horse for me yet - I'm still working on that.  Would love to see pics of your horses!

I have always wanted a horse  :(  But no money and a very urban home make it pretty much impossible at this point.  I haven't given up hope completely, my dream would be a house with enough space for a horse so I can go riding  :)  Heck, I'd settle for a pony or a mini horse lol.  Just because you can't ride them doesn't make them less awesome lol

Awesome!  When I was little my dream was to own a ranch and to place my art studio with huge windows so I could spend my days drawing the horses.  I stuck with my art, but I don't think I'd ever own a ranch.  Maybe I should just come visit you and draw your horses, lol!

Congrats - I would love to have all that freedom of space, set up an animal rescue and let my boys run wild. *lol*
