31. I find it ironic
My next door neighbors raise horses. I've had friends bring their children to our home so that they can see, touch and feed the horses. There are several riding clubs around here. Horses frequently come down my street, cut across my yard and run in the field next to my house. Terry Bradshaw is involved with a therapeutic riding club just around the corner. My business partner raises Arabians.

So when I posted my comments, it was not coming from a "horse hater", but a disabled person who was just wondering about the focus on one horse. That's all.

Thanks for your reply. I try to always remain civil and realize that the written word is incapable of rendering intentions or emotions. The words often fall flat.
