Today's
horse is one of the most impressive actual sources of evolution
in the history of the world.
Evolution is the ability of a creature or plant to adapt and
more importantly to advance based on its environment. The horse, equus caballus evolved from a creature the size of
a small four toed dog, scurrying about in the marshes into an
animal that is capable of cutting fast cattle, jumping large
obstacles, carrying a rider long distances or running varying
distances at substantial speed.
We are the horses' environment. We control breeding, feeding,
husbandry, even it's conditioning. In turn, the horse has turned
many a poor farmer into a millionaire. The horse has also turned
many a millionaire into a poor farmer.
What, and how, you handle your horses will dictate your success
or failure! - Dr. Walter
