Horse Quotes
Like so many other young girls, I did horseback riding for years and spend countless hours just 
hanging out at our local stable, cuddling with and talking to the horses and ponies. As I got older, school and life started taking up the majority of my time, and I stopped riding altogether in my late teens. I have never lost my love for horses though, and I hope to start back up at some point in my life. Here I have collected some of my favorite proverbs, sayings and happy quotes about horses. Enjoy!
