But Winston Churchill once said, "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man." I have to agree, even if I have to change it to read "person" at the end.

Horses are beautiful, majestic creatures but I have to admit I'm a little afraid of them.

I'm such a fan of history, especially the Old West and the days of the Pony Express. And horses can do such good for so many therapy patients. So for me, the tiebreaker may come down to television.

I wanted one so bad. My dad would tell me that unless I needed them for work, they were nothing but a useless expense. So, I never got one. :( We have one at our house now.

I'm afraid of horses, though I think they're beautiful, and every time an Amish buggy goes by I want to wave them down and ask for a ride, but I just like to drive cars.

Turns out, while I loved being around the horse, I'm a terrible rider. Poor balance and lack of confidence. I tend to be a timid driver, too. My first car was a Mustang II, so maybe it was a compromise.<br /><br />Beth Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02447148196867821907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-4683429703712531182015-08-03T09:49:28.944-07:002015-08-03T09:49:28.944-07:00This is too bizarre for mess I just published my K...This is too bizarre for mess I just published my Katia's Promise which was about antique cars and now I'm writing about horses in Unbridled Love.
