Giving Thanks for The Horse

Everyday I am thankful for horses. My own horses have a magic that touch my heart and soul, healing anything that ails me. It is like magic. Nothing else exists when I am with them. The affection my horses show me is special, as they have chosen me as a friend. It is a gift that does not compare to any other. I am a lucky person to be loved by a horse. There are so many beautiful things that have been written about horses. I would like to share some of my favorites.

My all time favorite is...

I've spent most of my life riding horses. The rest I've just wasted. ~Anonymous
