I am fortunate. We got into horses a few years ago after our oldest daughter got diagnosed with diabetes type 1. She got depressed and needed a boost out. She loved horses so we got her one. Now we have 3, lol. Her horse, Silvermoon, is a shire/paint filly (half draft) who just got back from training for trails, I just got a belgian (big draft) gelding named Gabriel (He's gorgeous) and a lil shetland gelding named Rudy. I'm gonna ride and drive my belgian. lol. Horses are great therapy.

watch out for the Shetland. Some of them are as mean as a pitbull. (no joke, friend) For a little girl (anyone under 99, or so) the Welch ponies are usually much, much, MUCH nicer. My "Poco" died of old age many years ago, but I will probably remember her when I can't remember my wife and children.

The draft horses are magnificent animals. I was around them growing up, and the greatest breeds are those who have one of the draft breeds in their devekopment. I am particularly taken with Andalusians. The last horse I had was Arab/Appaloosa.
