horses and I

I never thought about horses, never went very near them. I didn't quite understand how people can be completely mad about the horse. However since my daughter rides I have to get close. First uncomfortable, then I tried more, like taking out the bit, saddle and unsaddle, dressing the horse after the ride to keep him warm etc.. This is Jaak, the horse my daughter rides and he recognizes me now and I guess we are both comfortable. I start to understand what the love for horses is all about...
