I feel so fortunate. I was brought up along the beaches in Southern California, and then got to have horses.

I'm getting to the place where I can sort of go through airports now and there's no hysteria. I can go places alone even. But at the same time, if you get in trouble, you can find somebody in your age group who might recognize you.

Having a horse is a huge responsibility, so people should be very careful before they consider getting one.

Laws exist in every state that make animal cruelty a crime. Horse slaughter is simply another form of animal abuse.

Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping.

I found that whatever interested me in life, I could pretty much pick up the phone, call somebody, and all of a sudden be in the middle of it.

With or without horse slaughter, horse rescues need our help and support. That can involve financial donations, volunteering, or even donating items like brushes and blankets. Horse rescues operate with little money, so every little thing you can do to help goes a long way.
