A horse is a beast with strength beyond measure, a wild, free spirit, an iron will, and a huge heart. An equestrian is someone who is brave enough to tame this beast, and in return is lent wings, an opportunity to live, love, breathe and die horses, a chance to understand as much of heaven as we simple humans can here on earth, total, complete trust and more unconditional love than we will ever know. That is the joy of riding horses.
