Can we ever learn too much about the horse and his hooves? Or simply, the Horse?
The hooves, the body, the mind, the WAYS of the Horse … if we are chosen by a horse (or two or more) then there is reason for that. They have a purpose for being in our lives. And I don’t believe its just so we can puff out our chests to say, *I* ‘have’ a horse. Do we really ever HAVE a horse? Or do the horses ‘have’ us?
Oh I think all companion animals “have” us–just ask my cats about how well we’ve been trained! But when my friend gave me her halter-winning, registered Arabian ex-broodmare (I should be so proud to have such a sweet and special horse), I would be in awe, just sitting watching her eat. That special gal taught me SO MUCH–I’m a much different (and hopefully better) person than I was prior to 2005.
