What binds horse people together is not simply a love for all things equine, but an appreciation of what they give to us. Horses transport us to a time where only soft hoof beats broke the stillness of the woods. They allow us to race across the land, blood singing in our veins, they let us fly. Horses are like a secret we keep, unable to explain to the uninitiated what makes riding so special.
Unfortunately, horse lovers also know what it’s like to run out of trails, to hear from an angry neighbor about someone going across their lawn, to find a locked gate across a previously open path. We know what it’s like to struggle to find new places to ride, and to find other’s who appreciate the precious gifts horses give us.
