A Bit About Me and my Horse(s): Haven't got one yet! :(

I am an artist and a mature BFA student in my 4th year, attending Mount Allison University. I am primarily a painter and a photographer. I am crazy about the Canadian Heritage Horse, and love to paint anything equine especially Canadians.

Personally I think that riding is the best physical therapy for MS, I know that riding horses has kept me walking on my own two feet. Before I got back to riding I had worn out one electric wheel-chair taking care of my horses, I could walk but it was hard. Now I walk all the time (with 2 canes). If I don't ride I start losing track of my legs, and then I ride and even though I get TIRED I walk better after I've ridden half an hour.
Yeah for horses!

Right now I don't have a horse either (I've owned several), there is nothing foolish about it. Right now I pay to ride other people's horses, it helps their owners pay for the ever escalating feed prices.
At one time decades ago I had seven horses, and I think it would cost the same to feed ONE horse now as it took to feed 7 back then, which is why I don't own one now.
I like Canadians too just from the pictures, I've never gotten to meet one. My favorite breed is the Arabian. I am lucky, I am getting to ride an Arabian mare now, the bay mare whose photo is my avatar.
