Great quotes i love them all. (The one about the horse being loved by a little girl is Kelly Marks I think. ) Its good to know that horses have been inspiring poets and writers for centuries.

"for the want of a nail a shoe was lost, for the want of a shoe a foot was lost, for the want a foot a horse was lost, for the want of a horse a battle was lost"
Can't recall where that came from or how accurate it is Z
