[QUOTE="continueinfaith, post: 73008249, member: 383530"] I understand completely what you are talking about. For some reason many people think it's unacceptable for adults to like horses. Yet perfectly fine to like dogs or cats, or just about any other animal. I don't get it. Or maybe I do. I think it's due to horses being "girlified" as I call it, meaning how horse toys, figurines, or other such items are mostly marketed to young girls. Boys and men used to be able to like or ride horses, but now if they do their masculinity is questioned. Society has shifted its thinking to where it now associates horses with little girls, and the toy manufactures hold much of the responsibility. When I had to move in with family several years ago, I had put some little horse figurines which I MADE around in my living area. I got chewed out royally, and told I was not allowed to "clutter up the place" with my "horse stuff", and then this person complained that I was acting childish by having them. Ever since that happened I have not been able to get back into making these figurines, which I used to enjoy as a hobby very much. That ruined it for me. Even as a child, when my grandma (who was a dog person) lived with us, she scolded me over my interest in horses, indicating that I was abnormal and that I needed to "just love dogs like everyone else". I really don't know why people aren't allowed to just be themselves when it comes to interests and hobbies. Collect what you like. [/QUOTE]
