Parents, let your daughters grow up to be horse girls, because they will learn quickly and repeatedly that life isn't fair, that hard work is often trumped by Lady Luck, and that every defeat, no matter how terrible, is temporary. Let them dream big and kick on. Let them learn confidence, grace and grit. Let them build muscles and strong backs.
Let your dauahters grow up in the barn. Let them learn that buckets need filling and stalls need cleaning, even when it's raining, even when it's frozen, even when they have a different idea for how the day should go because it will teach them to be humble and to be resilient. and to be brave.
