If you are into wholesome stories about a girl and her horse, there are many options out there for you. One of my personal favorites is National Velvet from 1944 because of how stacked the cast is. We've got baby Elizabeth Taylor playing Velvet Brown, a teen girl who, you guessed it, loves horses. Baby Angela Lansbury plays her older sister, and Mickey Rooney plays a jockey who helps Velvet train her horse for the grand national; hence National Velvet. Before National Velvet , boys dominated th…

I've known several horse girls throughout my life, and I've always been fascinated by their passion for the sport. I'm from Texas, so obviously, horses are kind of a big deal there. It never ceased to amaze me how much horses cost to own and maintain. When you get a dog, you have to pay for the dog and all of its supplies and medical expenses, but at least you can let your dog live in your house. With horses, you've got to find a place where they can live, and unless you live on an actual farm,…

Now, I didn't grow up around horses. I come from a pretty metropolitan background, but weekend trips to a ranch really developed an appreciation for horses within me. Starting the day by feeding pancakes to unruly horses and then suiting up to ride them soon after was a definitive experience. They're not the most agreeable beasts. In fact, their unruliness made the experience all the much better once you could actually get the horse to work with you. So, I've never owned a horse or regularly ri…

If you have spent significant time with old people , you know that there are a million Westerns on TV at any given time. While the genre has fallen out of fashion, it dominated the film industry for its first 50 years. In the silent era, one out of every five movies were Westerns. It's difficult to overstate the impact of the genre. With Westerns came a million cowboy characters with giant cowboy hats. My friends and I recently watched a bunch of cheaply made westerns from the 30s, all with the…

Horse girls are the glue that keeps this country together . Their passion for these majestic animals gives me the strength to go out and follow my own passions. Society might criticize and deride (haha) horse girls for their earnestness, but the horse girl community will never fall. Their power grows, like the baby foal into mighty steed they so gracefully ride upon. My favorite horse girl of all time is Elizabeth Taylor in National Velvet . This is a girl who knows what she wants, and she's go…

Nothing like sheeps, chickens, cows, horses, and more to put a smile on your face!

Listen. Animal memes don't have to be cutesy. It's true that people love pics of adorable critters, or even basic baby-talk captions. But there are those of us who tire of this trope, and require more cultured offerings. Instead, we're looking for animal memes that fall into a variety of categories: funny, relatable, cursed, and surreal. We also look for animal memes that feature creatures beyond the usual realm of cats and dogs. This isn't because we don't like them. It's because cat and dog m…

Pretending to be asleep can get people out of a lot of trouble. I used to feign slumber in the car to get out of climbing the stairs of our home and going to bed. I'm not sure which came first, my dad being unwilling to carry more or catching on to the ruse, but those days didn't last terribly long. This weekend, the internet learned that it's not only humans who turn to acting ( lying ) when faced with an undesirable situation. Apparently, horses will do this, too. At least that's what one clo…
