America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, could not have come into existence if not for the horse. It provided us with the means to travel thousands of miles across country that we could not have traveled on foot. It carried us, our food, and our families, across thousands of miles of the most inhospitable land on Earth.

We owe all that we have to these wonderful animals, and we owe a great debt of thanks to Filmgirl for providing these images to the world to remind us of these wonderful animals.
