1. Your horse doesn't care what breed he is, he cares that you ride him with
a light hand and the freedom to use his body.
2. Your horse doesn't care how big and fancy your barn is, he cares that he
has a clean and airy place to rest.
3. Your horse doesn't care how expensive your saddle is, he cares that it
fits properly and is comfortable.
4. Your horse doesn't care how much money you have, he cares that you take
care of him to the best of your ability and his level of need.
5. Your horse doesn't care if you show, compete, or have him as a friend, he
cares that you treat him with respect and dignity.
6. Your horse doesn't care how many other horses you have, he cares that
you have time to properly care for each of them.
7. Your horse doesn't care how much property you have or where it's located,
he cares that he has room to graze and run as horses should.
8. Your horse doesn't care about the color of your skin, he cares about the
compassion in your heart and your willingness to understand his needs.
We are the stewards for our horses and are responsible for their well-being. At times
we may have to take a stand for them which may not be a popular thing to do. But it
defines your character.
