Horses have a secret. I believe they have the power to show us humans our own goodness, and I honestly believe they know that. What a gift!

I experience this goodness whenever I visit a friend who has
had horses all of her life, and the deep bond she has with them is unmistakable. Their intelligence, freedom, and magnificence draw me in to want to spend more time with them.

Recently, after a riding lesson, I knew I had been cared for by these highly trained horses because they had lots of patience with this greenhorn. I was grateful for their tolerance and their keen awareness that I was a beginner.

All of our animals are special. The smaller ones in our homes may not be as dramatic as horses, but they still have a secret. They show us the power of love.
