Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Any horse people in/from So CA, USA, or in the USMilitary?]

My goodness, go view the current signatures, and see the horse/human 
connection stories.  I sure signed this one, and left a comment.  I 
hope the comments make an impact.

Like this one:
 Im a 77 year old vet of ww2 ,on my return from combat in the pacific 
I was stationed at Miramar awaiting discharge . I have pictures and 
many fond memories of the horsebach riding we were privelaged to have 
at the stables on base. To close the stables now would be a travesty 
of our heritage and way of life.I urge you not to cave in to the 
enviromental terrorists and new world order agenda
