"There are no problem horses, only problem riders" is not only a book by Mary Twelveponies, but my favorite quote about horses. As a past horse riding instructor and trainer, I found that to be true every day.
I love these!
I'm not much of a horse person but I sure get the Melville quote with dogs in it. 😉
