I Waited 30 Years to Own Horses... Here's What I Learned

One year ago, I brought home four rescue horses after dreaming about horse ownership for more than 30 years. In this video, I'm reflecting on my first year with Victoria, BG, Honeybee, and Red Sox—the challenges, lessons, surprises, and unforgettable moments that have come with caring for these incredible mares. From veterinary emergencies and laminitis to everyday moments in the pasture, this journey has taught me more than I ever expected about horses, country living, patience, and building a life I've dreamed about for decades. Join us at A Little House in the Country as we share horse ownership, farm life, gardening, wildlife, and the simple joys of rural living in Florida. If you've ever dreamed of owning horses, moving to the country, or creating a simpler life, this video is for you. #HorseOwnership #RescueHorses #CountryLiving #FarmLife #HomesteadLife #floridafarm 00:00 One Year With My Rescue Horses 00:45 How This Journey Began 02:15 What I Thought Horse Ownership Would Be Like 04:20 Horses Have Other Plans 06:10 The Lessons I've Learned 08:45 Appreciating the Little Victories 09:30 Life Beyond the Horses
