Horses are poetry in motion. One of natures finest gifts.

I didn't know that about the sociability of horses. I have always loved your photos of horses in the snow!

And not just great photography but fabulous writing: "I have never had a horse but remember almost every time I have ridden, a fearless sack of potatoes bouncing on the poor animal's back wanting to run with it into cowgirl sunset."

I object to "sack of potatoes" -- unsure if it's self-attack or self-acceptance.

It just a description of what an unskilled rider I am. Good riders move WITH the horse--they dont bounce like an inanimate object. as for lumpy bag of potatoes ... well ...
