Lovely stories! Thank you! I'm always fascinated by childhood dreams and wishes and how they change.
I suppose I should admit at this point that like many little girls I read
King of the Wind
(a book about the Godolphin Arabian, by Margeurite Henry) when I was about 7 or 8 and from then on my dream was to have a 'beautiful fiery chestnut Arab stallion'. Unlike most little girls, I failed to grow out of this, and it was still my dream when I finally bought my first horse when I was about 23. Yup, you guessed it: my sensible choice for a complete novice owner was, er, an unbroken 4yo chestnut Arab stallion! It all worked out OK, believe it or not.
I
still
haven't managed to grow out of my
King of the Wind
stage, and am now on my second 'beautiful fiery chestnut Arab stallion' - who really is my dream-horse (he even looks like I remember the illustrations in that damn book)!
And the moral of this story is...do
not
let your young daughters read
King of the Wind
! Unless you want them to end up like me!
ETA - I told this story to a friend, who made me this photo of my boy, complete with 'fiery' background LOL!:
