FOREWORD
He had ridden the Black! He had conquered this wild, unbroken stallion with kindness!
These simple lines, written by Walter Farley in, The Black Stallion,
have echoed in my mind since the day I first read them with sweaty palms and a pounding heart. I was almost crazy with the idea that anyone, even a child, could tame the wildest horse with the right knowledge and a true heart. Corny, maybe, unrealistic, definitely, but Walter Farley gave me a philosophy of kindness, patience and tenacity, which are the cornerstone of every good horse person.
Passion for Horses is a compilation of quotes and short essays written about the ongoing love affair between people and all things horse.
Simple messages to mull over and contemplate while riding, cleaning stalls, or daydreaming about the horse you will someday bring into your life. This book is meant to fuel our thoughts and add insight to our unending passion for horses. There are lines to read again and again, along with short essays and stories to fire up the imagination, and maybe help us find one more line, one more thought to guide us along this journey with our horses.

.......... Juli Carlson
There comes a point in every rider's life when he wonders if it's all worth it. Then one look at the horse, and he realizes-- it is.
.......... Kelly Stewart
If you have it, it is for life. It is a disease for which there is no cure. You will go on riding even when they haul you onto a comfortable wise old cob, with feet like inverted buckets and a back like a fireside chair.
........... Monica Dickens
God forbid that I should go to any Heaven in which there are no horses.
........... R.B. Cunningham Graham
Closeness, friendship, affection-- keeping your own horse means all these things.
.......... Bertrand Leclair
I love the horse from hoof to head, from head to hoof and tail to mane. I love the horse, as I have said, from head to hoof and back again.
........... James Whitcomb Riley
"I saw a child who couldn't walk, sit on a horse and laugh and talk;
I saw a
