My horses keep me sane from all the horrors I see at work. They are there when I am depressed and missing love ones that have passed. They do not judge me or criticized they way I look as people do.they are beautiful and forgiven creatures and feel blessed they are in my life.

They are my life! And they should be treasured by all. Especially the wild ones who the BLM is trying to obliterate. What an incongruity that Congres has decreed December 13 as the National Day of the horse, yet is ignoring cries from horse lovers to stop all BLM actions against our National Treasures and National Heritage–the Mustangs!

Horses are my inspiration. My true companions. They are entwined in my soul. They helped build this nation and will be there till we ride off into eternity.

Life without a horse I don’t think so. They seem to know when you don’t feel good or down in the dumps. They are the most amazing animal a person can have in there life.

This is a unknown day even to us Horse Lovers! This should get more national attention & be celebrated as far as just showing the Horse the Honor they deserve bestowed upon them. Before dog was mans best friend, was the majestic horse! They too went thru war & battlefields & gave their lives & last breath serving our needs in War & in Work & in Pleasure Etc… They have never gotten the well deserved recognition that all others have in our lifetime. The horse is NOT a dumb brainless, emotionless, non-talented beast! FAR FROM IT! They are smart, loving, your best friend, work partner & best bud! Often times even our Protectors!!! Dogs don’t hold the sole place for all the things they do- the majestic horse is all the same as the dog when messed with & shown love & not just thrown into a lonely field or stall undealt &never handled. Let’s show TRUE HONOR to our 1st Working Animal & pleasure too.

Horses are blessings.
Here’s a story of a blessing One Special Night.
The Lord Jesus so blessed me with an Arabian mare whose name is Randi. This blessing was multiplied with God’s love within her for a special blessing for me. She was to have a baby. About a month before she was to foal, I began a nightly habit of going to the pasture to check on her before going to bed. After a week or so, she became tired of the ritual and would not allow me to check her. So I began to check on her condition from a distance using a large flat sided flashlight. One night I deeply felt the Spirit of God. There was a full moon and a calmness there that only God can give. So I turned off the flashlight and layed it down on the ground before me. I wanted to enjoy this time to its fullest. I began to talk to the Lord. The moment became overwhelming and I cried out to God, “I wished I could kneel down before you to worship.” I have some medical problems, so kneeling was impossible. Then I sense something to my left. It was Randi. I put my arm around her neck and she helped me to lower myself to the ground. Without any thought, my knees rested on the flat side of the flashlight. God had found a resting place for my knees without pebbles to give pain. Randi stayed and steadied me while I worshipped the Lord. When I finished praying, Randi raised her head so that I could stand once again. Then she walked away to another part of the pasture. A few weeks later, Randi foaled a palomino filly. The Lord blessed me again with the desire of my heart. I wanted a palomino filly. This Morab filly I named, Manuela, which means God is with us. For on that special night of prayer, God’s presence was undeniable with us.

Horses, they are a way of life. They are not a hobby, or even merely a “business” venture, they are a way of life. Some folks who may be to physically unable to enjoy horses like in their “youth” will still find a way to keep them as part of their life, their everyday. Horses, they ARE a way of life!
