So you want to own a horse. Owning a horse is a big responsibility.
Horses are gentle, dedicated, powerful, wonderful creatures that require a lot of care.
I know it was for me. I started my love of horses when I attended a summer camp at the age of 8 rode for the first time. When I returned home, I knew that is what I wanted to do 'forever'. Quite by luck, we had some friends near us in a nice canyon that had a half-wild Standard Bred who was in desperate need of attention. Not knowing much, I went over daily to brush and feed her.
