Have you ever dreamt of having a horse when you were young but it was impossible for you to get one because they are really expensive not only to buy but also feed and take care of? Well, as much as we love horses and we can’t deny the fact that they are some of our best friends, it is quite a luxury having and raising one for a lot of families. It is very sad that a lot of passionate children and young adults can’t have a horse due to their economic situation.
Also, even if you think that the most expensive ones are actually the better ones, this is wrong as well. Practice and determination will help you and your horse improve, I won’t say that the way how they are priced is not important, however, the most important are the first two and this girl who got her horse for free on Craigslist can prove this for every single skeptic person. For 100 miles, 18-year-old Sanoma Blakeley and her horse, Goober, battled some of the toughest terrains in California’s Gold Rush country.
They crossed rivers, traversed canyons, and pushed through elevation changes. It was 16 hours of heart-pumping adrenaline and incredible athleticism as this unstoppable team refused to slow down or give up. After riding all day and with the sky pitch black above them, they sprinted across the finish line to claim their first-ever win at the Tevis Cup.
As you can see, they went through a very tough challenge together but what made them stand out and get the first place was the amount of time and work that they have put into training together. She didn’t spend anything on getting this amazing horse and yet she managed to succeed. All I can say about this situation is that expensive does not mean better and people should be able to realize this. You and only you can make your horse better. Evaluating a horse in a way of how much does it cost to get it is not the right way of doing it. I just want to wish this duo even more successful moments because they totally deserve them.
