| This is the part where my
city friends shake their heads and say pick the jewelry but the little voice in my head
says, " it's just a bauble pick something that breathes."Can you guess where
this I going? How many times have you heard that dogs are a man's best friend? Well,
horses are a girl's best friend. Why, you may ask? Let's think about this, throughout time
horses have been a romantic symbol.  "Women & Romance
are kind of one in the same..."
I know I love to be romanced even just a
little. And say, what color was the steed your white knight rode up on? Well, mine was
white, purely coincidental (actually it was a white CJ-5 with a red interior) !!
See, romance and a horse are seldom far from
one another. Horses are a part of legend, mythology, stories from the round table and
tales of the old west. Horses allow us to dream and fantasize, to be a part of a world
that only exists in our own mind. Horses can save us from lonely days and sad events with
just a look, a nuzzle or a touch of a velvet muzzle.
"Horses teach us truthfulness and respect."

Horses respond to our care, they teach us truthfulness and respect. Indeed, we must
respect their abilities, size and power plus the sheer amount of organic material they can
produce. We deal with them honestly there's no cheating or sneaking on them or down you'll
go. Don't you hate it when that happens?
Many of these qualities are the qualities of my
dear friends except that my horse friend can take me places much quicker and with such
ease. My equine friend always listens and knows my moods, and he responds to my up days,
my down moments and he can truly sense my delight in feeling the wind in my hair and the
warmth of the sun on my face.
I love his smell on those sweaty days and don't
mind even the biggest of horse smoogies. He's always grateful for his meals and loves the
little cookies he gets for snacks. He never complains if he gets the same thing for dinner
each night or even the same for breakfast each morning. So, I would have to argue that a
horse is a girl's best friend though diamonds are awfully nice. I'll take the big grey
one.
