Playing with My Youngsters: Reviewing Some Ways to Gain the Trust of Young Horses

In 1999 when my future was uncertain and I had nothing around me but books, horses and a farm I began writting a short memory of my riding experience. I was trying to pass the flag to my fourteen year old daughter, who was leaving away from me and tell her: " do not forget what you have learned. The thrill, the fun, the love, the skill and the science." "A World where humans can not live in harmony with themselves and with nature is probably a World where our children will no longer live" . I think education is valuable, even for a horse. I am gratefull to my uncle Luis Alberto Bravo Pidwell and his wife Piedade, owners of Santa Margarida do Sado Stud for having sponsored Buy X get Y on behalf of "Playing With My Youngsters". I bought at their farm, Jaguar, Lucas, Nohr, Lagune, Pepper and Aplle, some of the most enjoyable Youngsters I ever broke. --Maria Ana Beja da Costa
