“I’ve spent most of my life riding horses. The rest I’ve just wasted.” – Anonymous

The first time I ever sat on the back of a horse as a young child, I knew that was where I belonged. I still feel that way. See my stories Creature Comfort and Peace at Last for more on how horses have helped me through terrible times in my life. It takes a while to get to the horse parts, but trust me, they’re there.

Also check out HoofBeats, my all-horse song CD, and listen to a song from it, about a little Quarter horse here: http://is.gd/09qF3r

And my friend Kate Morgan makes cool lead lines, reins, bridles, halters from marine rope and other non-leather materials that are easy on your hands and the horse: https://greatleadsnreins.com/

I have also preserved here with permission “Legacy Canadians”, a valuable resource site about the Canadian Horse put together by Roxanne Salinas, a true historian of this endangered breed and Canada’s National Horse. The original site from 2010 is no longer maintained. It is reproduced here “as is” with no continuing maintenance intended. Some links to outside web pages no longer work. But the background material and articles contained in this site are simply too valuable to have allowed it to disappear.
