James Gibbon - Compassion with Horses
When I first moved back to our family farm, I was not a fan of horses. They were big, unpredictable, and didn’t seem to like me, therefore, I didn’t like them. However, all of this has changed. Now, I have a newfound appreciation for the animals. I find them very endearing and well intentioned animals. Our two horses have become my friends. Their personalities and constant fixation on food has made them wonderful companions. Every morning I feed the horses and our chickens. Starting out, I resented having to go feed the horses whereas I enjoyed feeding and watering our chickens. Now, I love feeding the horses and it has become the highlight of my mornings. I can honestly say I love horses now. What a change from how I used to think about horses.
