There’s something so special about horses… it’s like they look at you and see right inside your soul.  Riding and working with horses is a great form of exercise and can be very therapeutic, not to mention just downright fun!  In addition to the usual sports and riding for pleasure activities, horses are also valuable when used for physical therapy, emotional therapy, helping people with mental disabilities, as well as assisting people with post traumatic stress disorders, among other things.  I know that when I’m on my horse everything else just falls away.  It’s an absolute pure joy!  I think Winston Churchill said it best:  “There’s something about the outside of a horse that’s good for the inside of a man.”
