I think that  also is important.

I give my horse lots of praise and hugs and atta boys.
One time after a ride, another rider caught me giving
Star a big hug for a job well done. He complimented me
on the way I treat my horse and said he wished more
riders would do that.

The horses are my world. they do so much for me
mentally physically and emotionally.I have to tell
them thank you!

Without our 4-legged counselors, I imagine a lot of us
would be checked in to some very expensive mental
health clinic, LOL
