FOR HORSE LOVERS OF ALL AGES
ARE YOU A HORSE LOVER? IF YOU ARE, THEN I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE
FOLLOWING BOOKS:
CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE HORSE LOVER'S SOUL: Inspirational Stories
About Horses and the People Who Love Them.
CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE HORSE LOVER'S SOUL #2: Inspirational Tales
of Passion, Achievement and Devotion.
STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART: True Stories of Remarkable Encounters
with Once-in-a-Lifetime Horses.
STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART #2: More True Stories of Remarkable
Encounters with Once-in-a-Lifetime Horses.
TRULY FOUR WONDERFUL BOOKS THAT WILL INSPIRE YOU AND ALSO HAVE
YOU SHEDDING SOME TEARS AT TIMES.
THE ETERNAL GOD MADE THE HORSE AND THE PONY ESPECIALLY FOR US
HUMAN BEINGS. NOT ONLY TO SEE THEIR MAJESTIC FORM AND POWER, BUT
ALSO TO BOND WITH AND RIDE OR PULL OUR WAGONS AND BUGGIES. THEY
REALLY HAVE BEEN (AND FOR MANY STILL ARE) AS MUCH A PART OF OUR
HUMAN LIFE AS THE DOG AND THE CAT.
I STILL GET AMAZED THAT MY BEAUTIFUL QUARTER HORSE GOLDEN
PALOMINO (THAT IS TRULY AN EYE CATCHER IN LOOKS - HER REGISTERED
NAME BEING "FINAL TOUCH") WILL TAKE MY SADDLE AND ME (ABOUT 200
POUNDS ALTOGETHER) ON HER 15.1 HH BODY, AND WILL FLY LIKE THE
WIND WHEN I SAY, "OKAY GOLDIE, LET'S FLY GIRL." SHE WOULD I'M
SURE LOVE TO BE ON THE RACE TRACK. THEN TO PUT MY ENGLISH JUMPING
SADDLE ON HER, TAKE HER THROUGH SOME DRESSAGE STEPS, AND FINALLY
OVER VARIOUS JUMPS; IT IS ALL MAGIC!
WHAT A PLEASURE IT IS TO HEAD OUT ON YOUR HORSE THROUGH THE
TRAILS OF MOUNTAINS, VALLEY, PAINS OF THE PRAIRIES, OR ON THE
SAND OF THE BEACHES, AND BE AS ONE WITH YOUR HORSE. WHEN YOU HAVE
THAT SPECIAL CONNECTION WITH A HORSE IT IS ONE OF THE GREAT
THRILLS IN LIFE. I WAS RIDING ONE DAY IN THE INDOOR BARN-ARENA,
WOOD-CHIP FLOORING, DOING FIGURE EIGHTS SITTING IN AN AUSTRALIAN
SADDLE THAT DID NOT FIT AS IT SHOULD, AND THAT WAS MY MISTAKE.
GOLDIE IS TURNING TO THE LEFT ON THE FIGURE EIGHT, THE SADDLE
WENT SIDEWAYS, AND I WENT OFF. AS I HIT THE WOOD-CHIPS, MY LEFT
FOOT TWISTED IN THE IRON STIRRUP AND IT WAS STUCK THERE. IN A
SECOND I'M ON MY BACK JUST TO THE SIDE OF GOLDIE'S RIGHT NECK
LOOKING UP AT HER WITH MY RIGHT FOOT STUCK IN THE STIRRUP. BEFORE
I COULD UTTER A WORD OF "W A H O" SHE NEW I WAS NOT WHERE I WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE AND DID AN IMMEDIATE STOP. I WAS ABLE THEN TO
RAISE MY RIGHT HAND AND PULL MY FOOT OUT OF THE COWBOY BOOT.
THE STORIES THAT CAN BE TOLD ABOUT HORSES, ARE DOZENS IF NOT
HUNDREDS. THE FOUR ABOVE MENTIONED BOOKS WILL GET YOU WELL ON
YOUR WAY TO DISCOVERING AND LOVING THE WORLD OF HORSES.
THEN EVERYONE WHO IS A SERIOUS HORSE LOVER AND OWNER SHOULD HAVE
THE TWO "DUMMIES" BOOKS:
DUMMIES FOR HORSE OWNERS
DUMMIES FOR HORSE RIDERS.
