MOM: did you ever want a pony growing up? was that just me? is that a British thing?
ME: I wanted to have a psychic connection to a horse. we would be BFFs and fight evil together, probably. also once people realized we were soul-bonded, it wouldn't matter if I "owned" the horse because capitalism and concepts of ownership and property would not be able to keep us apart.
MOM: ... ... ...
ME: does that mean yes?

I maybe also had this incorporated into my fantasy yes. Misty of Chincoteague was one of the horse books I read *a lot* and also that entire series. (I would be clamming, and look up across the water, and see the herd of horses for the first time...)
