It's been argued that of all the animals humans have domesticated, the horse is the most important to our history. For thousands of years, horses were our most reliable mode of transportation.

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.

It's thrilling. There's birth and death and frustration and victory in raising horses. It's like a little microcosm of life is built into the short lives of these creatures.

Yeah, I'd been around horses most of my life.

If a horse doesn't want to do something, you're not going to make him do it. They're incredibly powerful animals.

I was an expert horseman.

When I was younger, we lived in a horse community.

I rode horses since I was a kid.

When you get on a good horse, you just know. They are powerful, they stop quickly, they can turn in both directions, and they are fast.

I just love the development of horses, getting into their brains, making them more athletic and powerful, responsive, and I'm rubbish at everything else.
