The beauty and grace of horses so free, to watch and to wonder how great it would be. A gallant,proud stallion leading his band, through the great mountains,across the white sand. In the wind they will run from dangers that come, wild horses they are until death of the sun. ~ Susan Kosicki
The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and fire. ~Sharon Ralls Lemon
