A few years ago, I, Merrill Gould, was wondering what I should do with the horses that I owned. I wondered if I should sell them or give them away. As I was in the midst of this deliberation, a daughter asked me to give her riding lessons. It wasn't long before more young girls wanted to join producing the need to find more horses. This proved to be a good experience for these girls, because they
learned horsemanship by having to care for their horse each afternoon. The became better students in school, more reliable and happy at home, and gained more self-confidence as they learned horsemanship skull's. This increase in character and sense of responsibility is important to nurture our youth of today.
