Don't you just feel sorry for the people who only see horses as creatures to ride? I love riding, but watching the herd interactions in sheer wonder and amazement is a huge part of the joy of owning horses. I feel sorry for the folks who aren't lucky enough to own their own property, where they can witness this part of horsemanship, day in and day out. I knew from the time that Virginia owned the list that she was a person who NEEDS a farm - I know she'll get a huge kick out of this sort of thing, and I look forward to hearing the stories from her new farm! Not long after we brought Thunder and Mac home, Cary came in one day shaking his head. He wanted to know who writes all the horse's "laws". They certainly have a complicated and disciplined sense of law and order. :) Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
