I find it laughable that your 'friend' feels they can write a life story at nineteen!

TBH I found it very difficult to read, let alone understand, because the spelling and punctuation was absolutely appalling and eerily similar to your own style

From the momment the idea of getting a horse pops into your head, till the day they die, horse addicts lives are totaly consumed by there horses, and the lives of those around them. When you are young, you go by the ruling of ignarence is bliss, still being your my self i still do. But when i first got my horse i somewhere along the line decided that what ever anyone who could ride better than me told me must be %100 correct, if only. Now days im quite the opposite, im %100 and everyone else is wrong, again, if only. I have always been quite an ignarent person, and horses seem to bring out the worst in me in that sence. possibly because its the only thing im any good at, i dont know, and dont realy fancy trying to psychoanalyse myself at the momment. I have always been interested in horses right from when i was very little. I wasnt brought up in a horsey household unlike most, it turned out to be a present for my 6th birthday. Later on when i was older i asked my morther and father what made you think of riding lessons, because you had everything else they said, not that i was spoilt or anything. Looking back on it now i think if my parents knew what they where letting themselves in for by taking me riding some thirteen years ago, they probaly would have just got me that puppy i wanted. Like most, my interest in riding soon drew, i became a weekly at the local riding school, i then started staying back after and helping out around the yard, i was only six, but theres no age limit for a dagree in s**t shovling. I stayed put at that yard for a while, got my riding better started to learn a bit more about horses, learnt the meaning of the term slave labour. Back then i wasnt as extream about it all as i am now, therefor my paernts werent trying to payoff secincetists to erase the word horse for there mind unlike now. I stayed on at the riding school for a few years, but found the winters a bit much for me at my age. For some reason i packed it in for a while, and like most other things i blamed it on unexperted arivle of my little brother. A few years went past and mam and dad split up. Brother ment with mam (so not all bad) and i stayed with dad. A few months down the line, dad stated that he was going to take up of all things flying lessons, some sort of youth rekindler probaly. After that outburst i decided that i should take up my riding again. everyone knows that its not just somthing you do for years and can forget about. So i started on the same route as prior to my stop. Lessons, helping out, but this time i was older, thirteen and was able to understand so much more and take so much more in. I realy started to take a huge interest in that first summer holidays, were i was up everyday helping out and riding. People critisise yards for making grooms, working pupils, volenteers etc do all the work but in my opinion it is this that builds character in young people (i sound sixty) and build strenth in them, anyone can ride a handfull of horses that someone has tacked up for them, its somthing else to almost run a yard, because with out us grooms, all yards would just go to hell. Theres nothing quite like having a ride with your friends on a hot day during the holidays then having lunch by a river to cool off. Horses some how bring people together, its somthing like when you meet people at yards you already have a conversation starter so the ice is already broken for you, hardest part done. Not being much of a people person i much rather talk to a horse any day. When i started to notice riding outside of a riding school i started looking at other yards that i could help out at. My first real weekend job was working on a dressage yard (yipee), mucking out stables, grooming horses just the normal stuff, i was just so excited to be given the chance to work with horses. The best part was working on the weekends of the BD events. twohundered names three arenas and one me, quite a bit of presure for a thirteen year old. It is important that when you take on a role on a yard you dont over phase yourself, the person running the yard or event will understand if you need some help or somthing explaining to you, god knows i did like a million times over. Everyone must start somwhere and learn some how.
 
bugger, it was worth a try lol! im writing a group of pony club novels, based on many laughable experiences of my own! see, my theory is that at 19, you are too young by far to write anything based in an adult world, but if you are aiming for children/teens, and basing on personal experience, you cant do too bad!
 
TBH, it's a little ordinary, and i mean that in the nicest possible way, coz as a writer myself i know how hard it is! but there isn't anything gripping...as an essay for GCSE, its fine. but not to publish!

I agree totaly, i think the best way to aim books at young people is for young people to wright then!!
 
this book is aimed at young people who are trying to balance school, home life, friends and jobs with horses, as well as the hard choices horses make us make, which will come up in the book later. it is mostly somthing for young people with horses to relate to and also has dotted bits of advice in it. any ideas or REAL comments please pm me!!
 
I am sorry but it is a real comment - no one will publish a book - whoever it is aimed at - when the grammar, punctuation and spelling is so bad that it makes the text unreadable.
 
The content and thoughts of your work are lost because of spelling and grammatical mistakes make it hard for the reader. Before you present your work properly, I would take the time to either proof read your self or even better, get someone else to proof read for mistakes for you?
