ABOUT THE AUTHOR
When I was a small child, my most impressive memories were of trips to the
family farm. This farm was where my grandparents lived. There were cows,
chickens and most importantly
HORSES!
My grandfather used horses to work the fields and there was a little bay
gelding named 'Fred' just for me to ride. I rode the fields and creek
banks for hours.
It was many years later as an adult, while searching for that
SOMETHING
that was missing
in my life that I discovered that it was the
HORSES.
I felt
the need, (as so many I knew) to have something in my life for
recreation, stress relief and an activity that would bond my family
together. Horses and the chores that go along with them have taught my
children responsibility, loyalty, hard work, respect and most of all,
the love of animals that my grandfather instilled in me all those many
years ago.
The year's have brought many things including the ever growing need
to relax. Horses have kept my children busy, off the streets and out of
the drug scene.
Many years ago an old rancher told me
"The OUTSIDE of a HORSE is good for the
INSIDE of a PERSON".
INSIDE of a PERSON".
I never understood till many years later.
The
OUTSIDE
Of A Horse
is Good for the
INSIDE
of a Person!
