Just An Old Dream

The other day, I was watching television with my youngest, when I came across a channel and saw people riding horses in their cute equestrian outfits.  Well, that just brought back some old dreams I had as a kid.

I first got so interested in horses when I first watched this Filipino romance movie titled, Forever, that until now, I still love watching over and over again.  It's about a rich, young girl, who ran away from home because she didn't like the guy that her mother wanted her to marry.  She went to the city, changed her identity, met a guy that, obviously, her parents didn't approve at first, fell in love with him, and of course, like any other love story, they had to go through a lot of hurdles, but in the end, still lived happily ever after.

Anyway, she's a great horse rider.  And when I say great, I mean she is one of our country's best equestriennes, and she's really good in individual show jumping.  I once dreamed of becoming like her.  I love horses!  But unfortunately, that remained as a dream.  I don't think I have all the time to make that dream come true now.  I don't even really know how to ride horses, to begin with.  And I think you need to spend a lot to get into a horseback riding lesson.  But who knows?  One of my 3 kids might get interested in it one day, and I will be more than willing to support them if that happens.  I think it'll be great to see them accomplish something that I just once dreamed of.  It may not be me, but I'd still be as proud, if not even more, as I would have been if I were to achieve the dreams I once had for myself.
