RT this if you’ve ever ridden a horse & are not rich. Trying to prove a thing.
Notice the number of RTs here. The Dirtbag Left harassed a disabled person pretty horribly deciding they must be rich b/c they were a horse girl. Are all the people below secretly rich too? https://twitter.com/remembrancermx/status/1279087501731172352?s=20">https://twitter.com/remembran...
There really is this weird assumption by progressives that Certain Activities only belong to rich folx. That assumption makes sense from an urban US perspective. But the US isn& #39;t just urban & the world isn& #39;t just the US.
Many Russian Jewish immigrant parents, for example, pushed their kids to play an instrument b/c that was for rich people back home & a sign of improved life here, even though musical ability isn& #39;t just a thing for the rich here.
Before making the assumption that Certain Activities Are For the Rich Everywhere, maybe take a breath & consider that context is a thing, the world is a varied place, & your personal experiences of what is reserved for the rich are not universal.
As for myself, I did have horse riding lessons as a child. It was very important to my abuelos b/c that& #39;s just a thing that was done in Cuba. My parents couldn& #39;t pay for the classes due to my medical bills. We were solidly middle class at BEST. Not a sign of money here.
And I& #39;d like to point out that most of the people I knew growing up that had ridden a horse where fellowed disabled folx that got to ride horses through low-income therapy programs.
So...don& #39;t make assumptions maybe? It isn& #39;t as easy to determine someone& #39;s financial situation as y& #39;all think it is. And even less so when you& #39;re deciding a person& #39;s childhood translates automatically to their situation today.
As much as I love hearing everyone& #39;s horse stories (& I do, please, keep them coming, I will return to these later), we are moving homes today so I need to mute this for a bit. Love y& #39;all <3
