May your heart never ache,
May your horse never stumble,

And you....you get to pay...
"Where, in this wide world, Can man find nobility without pride, Friendship without envy, Or beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is laced with muscle, And strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility. He has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, Nothing less violent. There is nothing so quick, Nothing more patient. England's past has been borne on his back, All our history is his industry. We are his heirs, He our inheritance. The Horse."
~Ronald Duncan

Thou shalt find happiness all over the earth and Thou shalt be favored above all other creatures, for to thee shall accrue the love of the Master of the Earth. Thou shalt fly without wings and conquer without sword.'"

For want of a nail a shoe was lost, for want of a shoe a horse was lost,
for want of a horse a rider was lost, for want of a rider a army was lost,
for want of an army a battle was lost, for want of a battle the war was
lost, for want of the war the kingdom was lost, and all for the want of a
little horseshoe nail.
~Benjamin Franklin
I will not change my horse with any that treads but on four pasterns...When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk. He trots the air, the earth sings when he touches it, the basest horn of his hoofs is more musical than the pipe of Hermes...When bestride him I soar, I am a hawk...
~ William Shakespeare

Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some Paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.

The old mare watched the tractor work
A thing of rubber and steel,
Ready to follow the slightest wish
Of the man who held the wheel.

But there's still one thing you cannot do,
You cannot raise a colt.

...A horse is a thing a beauty...none will tire of looking at him as long as

A horse already knows how to be a horse;
the rider has to learn how to become a rider.
A horse without a rider is still a horse;
a rider without a horse is no longer a rider.
Speak kindly to your little horse,
And soothe him when he wheezes,
Or he may turn his back on you,
And kick you where he pleases.
...This most noble beast is the most beautiful, the
swiftest and of the highest courage of domesticated
animals. His long mane and tail adorn and beautify him.
He is of a fiery temperament, but good tempered,
obedient, docile and well-mannered.
--Pedro Garcia Conde
I don't help people with horse problems, I help horses
