I'm so happy that family was reunited with their horses.


It always amazes me that little girls can be so fearless in handling such large beasties with complete confidence and authority when many adults are so skittish around horses. I owe a debt of gratitude and appreciation to our horses for helping to teach our children to become better people by developing their confidence, responsibility, work ethic, compassion, common sense and so many other positive character traits that go hand in hand with loving and caring for our dear companion animals.
