“One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.”
Dale Carnegie
“People on horses look better than they are.
People in cars look worse than they are.”
Marya Mannes

The equestrian world is kind on the eyes. It’s fashionable, on the trail and the model runway. Even the horses are sexy. It’s a lifestyle of luxury and adventure. Where celebrities sip champagne as they watch Argentine studs on million dollar horses play polo and then star in cologne ads. The average equestrian is a clothes horse. The leather, silk, stretch-fit pants — all smell like money. What’s ugly to witness about this world are its excesses, while it often puts blinders on to the staggering number of unwanted, neglected, and abused horses, and horses headed to slaughter. Certainly so many wealthy who rely on their equine friends can take better care of their own.
