Cindy, what a powerful message.   I feel the same way.
I love my horse and realized long ago that horses are
living, feeling, loving, created beings and we / each
individual is responsible for his / her horse ( or any
animal for that matter)  We will answer for how we
take care of our animals.  Good message.  Thank
you!!!!!   Vicki
