I’m not going to make any long speeches or use any fancy words. To be plain and simple, I’m thankful for horses because of who they are — a friend, family member, counselor and riding partner — a horse is all of these. A horse will be our lifelong friend, and for [...]

Throughout the years I’ve loved the equine family. I gawked at every sight of a horse, sighed at every memory and gasped at every whinny. There isn’t a word to describe what horses have done for me or how I feel about them. But one thing’s definitely sure — horses are never [...]
