Thanksgiving, horsey style

As we prepare to lock ourselves down at the Thanksgiving table tomorrow, and overindulge in home cooking and the warmth of friends and family, many of us are undoubtedly contemplating the many things that we've been thankful for in this past year. I am thankful that I have a good job, that I have a close group of friends, that I live in a city that affords me unparalleled opportunities, that my mother is happy and doing well, and that I am comfortable when I know that so many others are struggling this holiday season.

In my horselife, I am also thankful:

• that horses can help humans to help themselves.
• that horses can bring hope and happiness even to the darkest places.
• that horses see ability where humans see limitations.
• that horses can show us that its never too late to do what you love.
• that horses remind us that we all need to remain just a little bit wild.

What elements of horsey living make you thankful for your equine companions?
