Very true! I’m thankful for the joy that they give me at the end of the day, and that good old horsey smell that everyone loves.

I would have to agree that the knickers are awesome. I also love to bury my nose into my horses’ necks and smell that horsey smell. To me it is the best smell in the world. And on a cold day, the area under their manes is a great hand warmer. Their eyes are so kind and gentle. There really is nothing that I don’t love about my horses. They are truly amazing animals. On a side note, I find it appalling that horses are still slaughtered for food, and abused by things like soring, and the wild ones are losing their homes on the public lands ranges at an alarming rate. These horrific abuses need to STOP!

My mare was my best listener, when I was down she never disagreed with me after a ride together I would return hom with a refreshed mind and love in my heart.Thank you my beautiful mare.

I love to see their breath on a cold winter morning as they nicker a greeting. Love the sound of tiny wind chimes when ice crystals form in their tails and clink against each other as they move. Love the way my Arab gelding puts on a rodeo show when I drive in the driveway. Just love everything about them I guess!

It is so true and ‘spot on’ as an old friend of mine would say. Non horsey people just do not know the joys they are missing.

Getting a horse again after 35yrs away from them is the best thing I’ve done for myself. It has filled a huge hole in my soul and benefitted me in all the ways mentioned in the article and then some. My guy is keeping me young, healthier and happy!
