"A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace.”
"The Joy of horses is not the riding, jumping, racing, showing, or grooming, but of owning."
"A true horseman does not look at the horse with his eyes, he looks at the horse with his heart."
"There comes a point in every rider's life when she wonders if it's all worth it. Then one look at the horse, and she realizes - it is."
"The horse, with beauty unsurpassed, strength immeasurable and grace unlike any other, still remains humble enough to carry a man upon his back."
"The horse. Here is nobility without conceit, friendship without envy, beauty without vanity. A willing servant, yet never a slave." From the Tower of,

Can I hear an Amen?!
Thanks for that - warmed my heart while sitting here on my heating pad.
You and I will both see the day we ride again - right?
--the tears I hold in my eye won't fall till the day they tell me I can't ride ---
Lisa those photos are amazing. You will ride again, you know. Keep the faith. Hope things are healing well.
What a wonderful post! You are so creative! Inspiring!
Hope you are doing well!

Very nice post! Where do you find those cartoon drawings!
Oh the things you see from that tower of yours...I'm jealous.
I hope you're feeling better. Give Babydoll and kiss when you see her..
I like the vintage cowgirl art -- it's YOU!
You're making the best of your time in the tower! I love this post, both photos and words..
I have to admit, horses & I usually don't get along, but I admire their fierce spirits & awesome power! :D
great pics my friend.
I have word verif and I am still gettting spam?
I love it when my horse just runs and runs around me then when she's done she wanders over for a wither scratch...
I totally agree Lisa, there is nothing more beautiful than a horse running free.
Truly magnificent creatures.
All good quotes to go with great pictures.
I'm back - I don't watch football, but I get a kick out of the Superbowl commercials. I just watched Bud's "Horse Love" bit - very sweet! Made me think of you. You can google superbowl commercials - this vid is #1 on the list.

Very nice and all true. Great pictures too.
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful pictures and beautiful words :)
It won't be long and you will be riding again and we will be all waiting and watching with baited breath to see the joy and excitment on your face and in your heart as you ride Baby Doll.
Take Care:)
I've had a busy weekend, so I'm just now catching up on blogs. That is in answer to yesterday's blog. I read about 10 every day, and sometimes don't get a chance to comment on any of them. I pop in to read one, and have to get back to something less indulgent (like vacuuming).
Today's blog---great pictures and thoughts! I snuggled my friend's minis yesterday. They are such lap horses. I don't see myself ever having a big horse again, but maybe minis. :)
Congrats on all your very deserved awards! Hang in there girl!
I love your posts Lisa but I have to say this is one of my favourites.
The quotes and the pics all went together so well.
I think I need to bookmark this one to come back to when I'm having a "bad horse day".
Great pics! Love the buck! My Mexican Mustang Jet can buck like that (but never under saddle, thank heavens). They really are majestic creatures!
What a wonderously beautifully AWESOMELY artistic and poetic post on the horse. The pics are incredible. You have such an awesome way of getting those great action shots and adding perfect quotes!!!!

(((HUGS))))
No truer words have ever been spoken...excellent Lisa...my you are being so methodical ;~) (but I am reading your posts in reverse order trying to catch up!) LOL...
Beautiful pictures, beautiful words.
I some how missed this post :) Of all the pretty posts, I miss the horse one!! lol I love seeing pictures of horses kicking up their heels. I have vowed to take many more a picture of my girls this summer. There just can't be too many I've decided.
You are so clever girl!
