My husband raised quarter horses when I met him 30 years ago. Our lives became very busy with 5 younger children and 4 older ones. In between we raised beef cattle, so his father had something to do when he retired, so the horses kind of dwindled from our lives. We always missed their beauty and for me " the smell". LOL! Two years ago we bought a horse, now we own 10 of them. Our children and grandchildren are becoming interested in them. I LOVE thier presence.
