>From a mom that has been there and is now seeing the results for both my daughters, I still feel the money spent for their horse activities was the best money we spent. Miracle of miracles, my husband who has become a high school math teacher late in life, now agrees with that. He told me just the other day that he can see how that kind of activity would help so many of the girls that he sees struggling every day with life. -- Laree in NC Doppa & Mura Simon, Sadie and Sam (the "S" gang) "Yet when all the books have been read and reread, it boils down to the horse, his human companion, and what goes on between them." - William Farley
