A horse customer of mine said this on FB. I added a background and a picture of my horses.
The horsey set is the finest group of humans in existence.

The best way to do it is to buy your loved one the item of her dreams. That new camera or lens that she sees the next week or so won't even get a mention.

The items of MY dreams were always art supplies, horses and camera equipment.

What's more expensive, Horseart, a horse or camera equipment? Ofc, you have to figure care into that as well!!!

A horse if you buy the right kind. We had Tennessee Walking Horses for 56 years, 77 of them at one time, all by World Grand Champions and out of World Grand Champion mares. We sold many foals at weaning for over $10,000 each and raised over 500 of them. Sadly, they are not that expensive any more, but if they go on to make a great show horse, some still sell for $50,000 to over $100,000, so I'd have to say horses.
PS, I raised and trained the 1979 World Grand Champion Yearling.

That is quite the enterprise!!! And, I know it's always a great thrill to raise a World Grand Champion. My mother would have loved to have seen your horses. She always loved horses. She was a Kansas farm girl and she and her brother rode a horse to school each day. Not separately. On the same one. Their father warned them not to race, but, ofc, another boy challenged my Uncle to a race. Both my Mom and Uncle fell off. Both were hurt, but he was hurt fairly badly He did recover, though.
When I was five, Mom put me up on my Grandpa's big stallion and was leading me around. The horse decided he wasn't in to giving horse back rides and took off. He ran through the ditch next to the road. I was fine, but saw a branch from a tree coming at me so I bailed out. I was fine, but that was the end of my horseback rides!!! I used to have great fun on the farm!!! Another memory is riding down the highway next to the farm with Grandpa on his John Deere. He let me move the lever down to speed up the tractor. Big thrill for a little kid.

But if you listen you'll realize that they never really resolve anything, they just want to talk about it.
That's the difference between men and women.
Men always want to jump right in and fix everything.
Women need to talk. We don't need everything fixed, some stuff isn't important enuf, some we can fix ourselves. Occasionally, we actually need something fixed. But... man-fix and womam-fix are not always the same thing! Be sure to ask first!

I never knew Alexa to fix anything anyway. sometimes I think I hear her say "shut up".

Thank you. Sorry you never owned one. They have such a calming effect on people in any situation. Ask anyone who has one. If I were any calmer, I'd be dead!
When I was station at camp Pendleton CA I would occasionally hitch hike to a stables that rented horses. I believe that it was outside of Fallbrook CA. I wouldn't go every weekend but maybe once or twice a month. I was also learning to fly and hitchhiking to the Palomar airport for lessons. It was always a toss up between my love of horses and flying as to what I would be doing on the weekend when I didn't have either guard or barracks duty.

I'll venture to say that you found riding very calming and flying very exciting. A good mix.

The riding was calming and so was the flying, the flying also made me want to race.
