Equestrians are the types of people who live for what the do. 

The types of people who live for the ones involved in what they do. 

The types of people who live for the feeling they get from what they do.

The horses that have taught them what they know. 

The horses that have yet to teach them life's most important lessons.

The horses that challenge them.

The horses that treat them like their own foal.

The horses that attack them.

The horses that defend them.

The horses that hate them.

The horses that love them.

And that one special horse that gives them shelter amidst the storm.

That one special horse who has taught them what love really is.

That one special horse that they can tell anything.

That one special horse who may not be theirs, but has certainly chosen them.

That one special horse who has been with them through everything.
