Viggo, Horseys and Love
Aragorn (Viggo) and Brego in "Lord of the Rings"
Viggo with TJ in "Hidalgo". Viggo bought TJ after filming wrapped because he had such a connection with this beautiful horse.
I have had some amazing connections/bonds with dogs, but I have yet to befriend a Horsey. I love them, but it is so expensive to take riding lessons (I have checked into it many times) and I don't know anyone who has horses. While I admire horses from afar(parades, fairs, etc) they seem to react well to me as Lamby and other family members have witnessed.:) Someday I hope to take riding lessons and learn more about these amazing companions.
And some great quotes about Horses:
A woman needs two animals: The horse of her dreams and a jackass to pay for it.
The love for a horse is just as complicated as the love for another human being...If you never love a horse, you will never understand.
No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle. ~Winston Churchill
There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse. ~Robert Smith
God forbid that I should go to any Heaven in which there are no horses. ~R.B. Cunninghame Graham, letter to Theodore Roosevelt, 1917
Four things greater than all things are, -
Women and Horses and Power and War.
~Rudyard Kipling, "The Ballad of the King's Jest"

C.C., If I ever win the mega million lottery, I'll buy you some horseys, and a farm to keep them on ! (and maybe I'll hire a couple of "jackasses" to help take care of them!!)
Hmmm...I wanted a horse when I was younger, but quickly gave up that dream b/c they're so expensive. And, I've never seemed to have a "way" w/ them ever. Just w/ cats and kids. :-)
Thanks Lamby! I will hold you to that! After all, it is in writing now! hahaha!
Yeah Amy! For me it's dogs and kids I guess! Only the cats who act like dogs seem to like me. :)
