yeah dont do it\ni was in your boat completely, right now u need to take lessons and learn as much as u can. by getting one horse you will beriding just that horse for a long time, along with working 15 hours a day to pay for everything! \nmy father wouldnt help me, and i became a better rider and horsewoman because of it. i rode all different horses all different styles and am now applying to vet school to become an equine vet. my dad still thinks it is a "phase" i will outgrow, but when i moved to the middle east to study the arabian breed i think it finally got through to him that this is my life.\nby sticking with it and doing the best you can, your parents will either come around or youll get the means to get a horse yourself. \nlol im just thinking about if i had bought the horse my trainer wanted me to buy... i would never had learned dressage or reining! \ngood luck!

How old are you?  Are there customs/backgrounds/ethnicity issues that are causing your parents to red-flag the relationship?  Without a few more details it's gonna be kinda hard to advise you either way.  \n>>BUT<<\nIf you're old enough to be making your own decisions (18+), then all you can do is what your heart tells you, giving your parents time to accept it on their own rather than forcing the issue....but also taking into consideration what thier concerns and feelings are.\nBut if you're like 16 or so and younger??  Chances are you're emotionally to young to really know what "love" is.  You may sincerely care for this girl, and that's wonderful...but your parents may just be trying to protect you from getting to serious to soon.  They love you and just want to help guide you through the right choices.\nIf they are that strong-willed against it for whatever reason and at whatever age, it isn't something that you're going to be able to "convince" them of--any more than they can convince you to give up on this. Acceptance may come with time-as long as you don't disrespect your parents in this matter.

express your feelings to your parents respectfully but sternly. I'm sure it's not their fault that they can't get a bigger place just now so don't kick them while they are down with imancipaton(a low blow to parents). if you can afford to rent a place, how about helping them rent a larger place?\nif not, getting on your own is far better with parents support and experience. don't cut that off!!\n\nlow is the one that helps you hurt your parents.

It really depends on the horse, is it purebread? who's selling it, private party? are they poor/rich? like, can they afford to let it go cheap, or do they need the money? Horses can run anywhere from $800-$5000. how much do you have to spend? I think if you make an offer tagged with "this is all i have" and explain how badly you want this horse and how timid she is and how she only lets you ride her, then I think that you will win them over! good luck!

your parents should have the final say as to whether you can go. if they are supportive of you then this teacher shouldnt be able to stop you from going. if you have your parents support, ask your teacher to sign the slip. if she doesnt, report it to the office, or someone in charge of your trips, and have them contact your parents.\n\ngood luck!

I am only 23 but I have been riding for over 17 years now and I hope to still be riding when I am in my 50's! Congratulations to those of you ( men included) who take up riding in the later years. It is one thing to start riding when you are a little daredevil of a child but to be an age where you know what the risks are really involved is something else indeed!. Yes Peruvian Pasos are a very smooth ride. If it is one that you think you want to buy or at least try, make sure that it is one that is a little older as he probably will have been trained a lot more and knows what he is supposed to do. Tennessee Walking Horses are also very smooth. Finding a gaited breed of horse will be of your best interest as they having smoother gaits than the jarring trot and even the canter. I know that as a 23 year old I am really starting to feel just how bad the trot really can be. It requires a lot of work to counteract the jar of it and riding the canter can be hard on your body with certain horses. Best of Luck on finding a horse for you. I hope you find a partner that will last a long time.

Tell them this :\n\nMom dad, please let me play. I know after I graduate high school that would be one thing i will regret..not being able to play football. You only live once. And high school life can't be repeated. I really want to play.\n\nAsk them for their reasons. And most likely it's because they think you'll get hurt. It's part of the game. What's the wort that can happen? You dont like football n u quit. Simple. Either u like it or u dont. let ur parents give u a chance n let u try. Its part of growing up..making ur own decisions.

go thru your room and pick out everything you won't use, won't play with, have grown out of or just would not wear for that matter. Talk to your parent(s) and tell them you'd like to find a resale store where you could take your things to sell. The people at the store will get to keep a little of the money but hey its easy and you'll not only be helping yourself by selling and making money but you'll also help people who can't afford to go out and by brand new things.

It is tough dealing with parents. But we are talking about your future not the future of your parents. You need to tell them that is what you want. Ask them why don't they want you to go?  There is so much going on in Europe. Everything so much different than here. You ll meat new people, you learn new culture and maybe even a new language. That is a plus sign to me. You can travel to one county do another in just few hours. You don't need to buy a car, transportation is great and it takes you where ever you want to go. You tell your parents they need to respect your dreams and wishes. Good Luck!!!

well you need to understand your parents first.they are scared of you getting hurt outside of your parents sight.make them know and think you are an adult.come home early from parties.make your outings short from friends.work hard at school if your schooling.plus get a job while you in college.save money to get a car for your self.and stick with your parents for another 5years by keep on saving money so that way you can buy a nice small house of your own..that way your parents wont worry about you so much.cuz they seen how you respect your self and securing your self on money wise...transportation and fianancial needs is the key to survive..so no matter how far are you from your parents..they know that you can manage your survival needs...show them that your a mature woman not a teenager girlie girl anymore...good luck independent beauty queen

Wow you sound just like me. I'm a huge horse person and have wanted to get into it seriously for a long time. But unfortunately I am not "priviledged". I had been trail riding at a local stable for as long as I can remember but was desperate to get more exposure and learn as much as possible. I started calling every farm in my area, basically begging for a job to work with the horses. I was lucky enough to get a great job at a hunter/jumper facility and worked there for 3 years and took lessons when I had the money. Unfortunately family problems caused me to have to quit just as I began to progress in my lessons. But my advice to you is to start looking around. Go in the yellow pages even, and call every farm thats close to you. Just ask if they are looking to hire anyone or find out about their lessons. Its certainly not too late to start. And often times in horseback riding, natural ability and your comfort level around the horse will help determine how far you can go. Good luck and don't give up. Its absolutely worth it.

Don't worry. No self respecting horse would allow you to remain there long. His friends would laugh at him for the company he keeps. By the way. brush your teeth you have a crap eating grin.

First, I think that u have to look for the horse u want. then u find a good price range. I don't think that  there is a company in horse biz but, there are lots of farms, look in horse magizeens like the Fence poast. (if u can find one at ur local tack store) This is the best rute u can go.

Be careful, your parents CANNOT possibly decide what is best for you unless you are a child.  Please LIVE and LOVE your own way in life...there is sooo much to be lost otherwise!

I understand what your saying. I enjoy stock car racing and would love to start (I'm only 16) but I know how pricey it could get and want to do it on my own with a little help from my mom. I'd suggest sitting down with your parents and seriously talk to them about this. Ask them if you could get a job to help pay for some of the expenses (if you feel you could work) and go from there. I keep hearing it's better to start young. So I wish you luck and hope you achieve what you want. Oh and don't ever stop believing in yourself-whether you start know or 10 years from now at least you'll know you tried!

It would help to talk to your parents about this.  I'm no expert, but they are the ones closest to you, and they should be most able to help you overcome this.
