The variety of types, sizes, temperaments and colors make the horse an animal that would appeal to almost anyone looking for this type of pet. It is important to find the right horse, one that suits your taste and preferences if you should be looking to purchase one.

From the Welsh shetland pony to the giant draught horse we are blessed with this animal species in all its' magnificence. We have enjoyed the horses' company for a very, very long time and together we have been involved in many adventures together. Removing coal from coal mines, pulling farming equipment and as well the horse has been used to carry passengers in carriages but my favorite use of all, the cowboy's horse. My love of the wild west is only intensified due to the abundant use of the horse in those times.

Because of mans' love of the horse movies were created purely with the horse as the main character along with humans as supporting actors. From Mr Ed to Black Beauty, then Trigger and not to forget The Lone Rangers' horse, Silver. We have been captivated by this fine animal, well I have, for all of my life.

When I heard of the Mustang shootings in America I felt sick to the stomach just like I did when I very young and found out they shoot horses for as simple a thing as a broken leg. These days I am sure it is still done in a few severe injuries but I like to think, as in Seabiscuit, the famous racehorse who was also a TV star, that they all could be repaired so they might live a life like they were born to do.

The majestic horse in all its splendor and variations will surely be with man a long, long time. What will this mean in the future? If nothing else our children and grandchildren etc might be allowed to experience the same love, respect and enjoyment from them that we all horse lovers share.
