Good Morning!! and thank you for the "no new news is definitely good news" ping.

I heartily agree with the well stated quotes you posted. We try so hard to put into words how we feel about these beautiful animals.

I care for "people" as much,...no more,... but the human kind is so often, well ... they disappoint my expectations,(as evidenced here by certain, not to be named, smart alecky posts). But horses, (as well as many other animals), but horses have a grace and nobility about them that has always attracted me. They are among the most physically beautiful of all of God's wonderful creation. They are a prime example of His genius. We are so fortunate to have been given their care.

Anyhoo.... thanks for the ping to the Barbaro update. Sure appreciate it. ;0)
