No Gentle Hobby

“Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole, and once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Like most of you, I find myself seized by this grand passion that is a life with horses. If you challenged me at the dinner table to speak of anything but horses, I might be silent for a long time.
