Before backing your youngster, please read:
🐴 A horse ages about 3 times faster than a human.
So, a 90-year-old human is like a 30-year-old horse. Both are creaky, missing teeth, probably wear glasses, and are living their best retirement life—spending more time at the spa than at work. 🧓✨
A 25-year-old horse is like a 75-year-old human. Still getting things done, but don’t ask them to lift anything heavy.
A 20-year-old horse is like a 60-year-old human. Body’s a little sore, but the brain is still ready to run a marathon… even if the legs aren’t. 🧠🏃♂️
A 13-year-old horse is like a 39-year-old human. Peak performance—wise enough to know what’s going on, strong enough to get things done, and probably complaining about back pain by lunchtime. 💪😅
Now, let’s talk about the babies:
A 3-year-old horse is like a 9-year-old kid. Still in “I don’t wanna work” mode. Maybe they’ll help out by drawing you a picture of a unicorn, but that’s about it. 🎨🦄
A 4-year-old horse is like a 12-year-old kid. Doing odd jobs for pocket money—mowing lawns, delivering newspapers. They can start earning their keep, but don’t expect them to finish the job without a snack break. 🍪
A 5-year-old horse is like a 15-year-old teenager. Full of attitude, thinks they know everything, but can barely handle a chore without “accidentally” doing it wrong. Still growing, so don’t ask them to carry a fridge, but they can start building some muscle. 💪😜
A 6-year-old horse is like an 18-year-old human. An adult! Finally ready to do some real work—if you can get them to stop texting for five minutes. THE CORRECT AGE TO START WORKING! 📱💼
Pushing your youngster too hard too soon? Prepare for a future of limping horses and dramatic eye rolls. 🦵🤦♂️ Take your time! One more year of chill can add 10 years of useful working life. Be patient with your pride and joy (and maybe bribe them with snacks). 🧁🎉
I have stolen this, because its too important not to share.
Having a friend who has been encouraged to push her baby too soon, resulting in surgery, mental and physical set backs for her precious boy, and now recovery time. It's heartbreaking to see, especially when she genuinely thought she was doing the right thing.
Just because someone will take your money, to back your weak baby, give you multiple lessons a week etc etc, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Money talks, people! Real folk are few and far between.
My babies learn how to pick their feet up, wear a rug, lead and travel before they're weaned. They live out, the herd teaches them everything else they need to know.
If anyone ever needs any FREE, HONEST advice on your baby, even if you didn't buy it from me. I will always be happy to help.
