A horse is NOT just a horse. Whoever came up with that idea, had no clue about the beauty and intelligence that our friends possess. My 3 horses are my babies. They are my best friends and they are always there for me when I need them.

Who ever says a horse is just a horse has never owned one. There is nothing like the bond between horse and rider. =)

I have ta say there is no better feeling then a hug from a horse after a hard day. i Know Mine is Always there for me as i am for him. That feeling of being one with your horse is So Amazing! There is No way that a horse is "Just a horse".

people say "well its just a horse" when i talk about stopping horse slaughter, and then i say "well, its just a human" when they talk about genocide.

I don't know who wrote this originally but I love it!!!

Just a Horse

From time to time, people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a horse," or "That's a lot of money for just a horse."

They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a horse." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a horse."

Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a horse," but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a horse," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a horse" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you think it's "just a horse," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a horse" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.

"Just a horse" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.

Because of "just a horse" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a horse," but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a horse" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday people can understand that it's not "just a horse" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a woman."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a horse" just smile...
because they "just" don't understand.

I have horses ever since I can remember, I love them all, the little pony in my picture is the sweetist horse I know of, her name is Sparky, if there are little kids who want to ride, I have her lay down, and then they can climb on by them selves. Horses are a big part of my life, and I don't know what I would do without them! I have four of my own, along with training other peoples horses I spend at least 2 hours/day with horses. People truley don't understand, because I enjoy just sitting in the field and watching the horses.
