What is it about horses that captures our hearts and minds?

Most of us can't remember a time when we didn't love horses. Some of us dreamed of horses before we ever saw one or we spoke of "horsey" shortly after, and sometimes before, the words "Momma" and "Dadda" came out of our mouths. We played with Breyer horses inside miniature corrals while friends were content to play with Barbies or Tonka toys. Were some of us just born with an inherent bond with these large and magnificent creatures, while others acquired the "horse bug" during infancy? In conversations and confessions with men and women from coast to coast, of every age, race and breed preference the collective answer in a shout is, "yes!"

You are invited to enjoy what the writers in Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover's Soul II have to share. Their connection with horses allows us to not only laugh, cry and remember our own uniquely special experiences with horses, but to also celebrate the special bond each of us shares with our horses and which connect us to one another.
