Black beauty - he's a dark horse.
When I was about six, I was kind of a cowboy. I'd dress up in boots, straps, hat and bandanna, and my dad would take us to the rodeo.
It's been a childhood dream of mine to be a Cowboy, honestly.
I never really did a western western.
When I was so fatigued that I couldn't move, the excitement of going to the barn and getting my foot in the stirrup would make me crawl out of bed.
I have a secret passion for horse riding. I haven't done it for ages, but I used to have a horse. I love it; it's one of my favourite things.
He put his foot on one pedal, scooted a few yards and swung his other leg over the saddle. He soared left into the vertiginously sloping hillside road and sped, without touching his brakes ... The hedgerows and sky blurred; he imagined himself in a velodrome as the wind whipped his hair clean...
Politicians are like bad horsemen who are so preoccupied with staying in the saddle that they can't bother about where they're going.
Could there be a cowgirl in my future? You know, I never know what character is going to come and tap me on the shoulder and say, 'Hey, tell my story.' So maybe the next one will have boots.
It felt so good and natural, I should have been on a horse my entire life. I fell in love with riding.
I love horseback riding. I still do it.
I thought being a cowboy would be a terribly romantic thing to do. But it wasn't. I shoveled a lot of stalls.
All I really want to do is someday be in a western. If I could be on a horse with a rifle, I would be a really happy camper.
I wanted to be a cowboy in cowboy movies.
I'm a country girl at heart. I think an old-school Western would kind of be really up my alley and would be so fun. I'm so comfortable in that genre and around horses.
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow.
I started horse-riding when I was a child and still try to go as often as I can.
I started spending time at stables with my daughter while she was riding. I was reminded of my love for the form and different aspects of the horse. Then I thought about the bit, halter, and bridle in terms of how we harness and ride this animal. There were a lot of interesting elements to explore.
I'd been horse-riding a couple of times, but I wasn't that good.
I felt pretty comfortable with Westerns, apart from the fact I couldn't ride.
I think the riding uniform has always been so classic, with the britches and the blazers.
I asked for a horse for Christmas, and I got one! It's an adult horse. I didn't want a 5-year-old, which is a teenager for horses. It has a beautiful gait. It's the Cadillac of horses.
Everyone has a first love, and mine was the western. When I was a child and dreamed of the movies, it was always as a cowboy on a white horse.
Once, no self-respecting puncher considered himself dressed for work until he had his feet inside of a pair of $15 boots made by one of the favorite boot-makers, whose merits they discussed about the camp fires night after night.
Polo is like playing golf with a saddle, and there are a lot of moving parts.
