It’s pretty easy to see that I love horses. Sugar, Misty, and Towaco were my best friends growing up. I love the smell of horses, their furry coats in winter, and the way it feels to canter across the pasture in spring. I’d do anything for a nicker, the warmest sound in the world.

What is it that makes us love horses, even when we don’t own one?
