Oh I would so very much love to have a horse. I have the same issues of not enough money and not enough space or time for a horse, but putting all that aside, I would dearly love to have a horse. I have not ridden much but whenever I have it's been a magical experience. The horses I've been privileged to meet are just splendid beings. I met a couple real sweeties last year when I went to a gal's house here locally to get some manure for my garden. She let me in to meet her two beauties and, oh, I did fall rignt in love.
I have a friend in Britain who works with horses, doing a kind of energetic healing. She talks a lot about how wise and sensitive and attuned horses are.
Maybe one day I will be able to experience more of the company of horses.
