  4. Yes, I had stick broom horses too - her little 'bissel' carpet sweeper had a black handle that would screw out from the sweeper. That was Black Beauty to me! I look back to those years and loved the child's imagination I had! I never had my own personal horse, but I grew up as immersed in horses as I could be - I was what is now called a 'hot walker', for an Arab farm near me. Oh! I did it for free, in fact, I could ride 1 hour for every 2 hours I spent helping in the stable.

    Oops. Gone on too long, but what a neat-o memory! Haven't ridden since I was 42 and now at 67, a bit too old to bounce!

    1. Arabs - lovely, lovely horses. Lucky you!! I used to ride an Arab/Mustang mare when I was a heck of a lot younger. She was great little horse. I still remember her name: Cinnamon. Now I can gaze at my neighbor's horses - she has four now!
