There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man. ~ Winston Churchill

and

Horses lend us the wings we lack. ~ Unknown

 

[Emilieu]

In a book I love the heroine asks the hero why he is a pirate. He replies: 'why do you ride horses that are too fast and too spirited?' She answers: 'Because of the danger and the excitement.'
It made me shiver
I also love 'when we ride we borrow wings' and 'he'll always be in your heart but he won't always be breaking it' which a friend put in the card she gave me when I lost my boy. And the Winston Churchill one already quoted.

 

[Box_Of_Frogs]

A great horseman can hear his horse whisper....

A horse is always a horse,
A human is not always a rider......

I like Tim Stockdales quote on Jenny Saunders Back in the Saddle documentary.....
