We played in dad’s garden throwing dirt clods like we were bombing Middle Eastern cities.

Meah, they aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. I had a pony, and that little fricker was ornery. She would run me over when I tried to halter her, and once I did she would step on my feet. On the occasion that I was persistent enough to get her saddled and ride, she would randomly buck me off whenever she felt like it.

My parents and grandparents found this very entertaining.

Man, I rode mine like my hat was on fire and me arse was catching.

I think that horse was probably the best thing for kids to get cardio and think it was a game.

Now we have fat little button pushers.

them damn springs would destroy you... its kinda funny really to think that they didn't come with little sleeves or covers or anything....

I know I injured myself in mine, more than once. But, like they always say "if you fall of the springy horse, you get back on for another ride of pain".

Had one that was a hand me down from my older brother. Played on it everytime I watched The Lone Ranger and Bonanza.

We had one that every time you put the saddle on him and start riding he would run a tree and start rubbing to try and get you off.

When I was young, our neighbor had a dead one for about a week. It was cool to ride and play cowboys on till they buried it.

Yes..and one exactly like that one, well almost. It didn't have the extra bars to prevent tipping over. It was bought for my older siblings. When my brother started a family I got the horse out of the attic and refinished it for his kids. Not sure where it is now..

It was called a farm where I grew up and the pony was part of the equipment to run the farm. Not sure why you would hate someone who started work before the sun and worked till after it went down. I guess you must have hated the food we put on your table.

You wudn't about shite as a kid unless you could make the horse nose touch the ground in front of you and the tail touch the ground behind you.
