The quote and picture from Abraham Lincoln. A good horse is very hard to replace. I owned an Arabian. Very smart horse that knew more about me in 10 minutes than I did in 60 years. I miss him dearly.

My favourite quote is “Horses lend us the wings we lack”
I find this so true and emotional. My loan horse Rowan gives me 100 sets of wings. He makes me feel as if I am worry free and I live up in heaven. I love him so much.
