This is the story of one of my horses named Qisma his name means lucky in arabic. I adopted him from the humane society after him and twenty one other horses were taken away from there owners. Qisma was one of the lucky ones because him and eight others lived the rest had to be put down. The people who owned them let many of there animals starve to death and not just horses. Qisma was in bad shape when I first saw him, his hoofs were so long that some people called him ski because it looked like he was skiing. Qisma is a black arabian but he did not look like one, his belly was burn from standing in a pen for one year with out being cleaned. When I first saw Qisma he was two colors light brown on the bottom and black on top, he was afraid of every one and everything. It took me almost a year, with the help of a vet to get him back to his right weight, he would not eat apples at first or his grain. I have had Qisma for four years now and he is a beautiful black arabian, he loves to be brushed and petted. So if you see a animal who deeds help or a person we all should help. Thanks for listening to my story.

I just started to read this book and it is very good.It tells of a boy who finds himself drawn to horses that live close to his house. He does not know why he likes horses so mush, he just does. The book tells of his first encounter with a big horse and what is was like. The name of the book is ” Horses Never Lie “ by Mark Rashid, in the book Mark tells about the long standing belief that people have to be the alpha leader in order to work with horses. Instead this book tell you how to be a passive leader the kind that other horses want to be around. Mark said that you should work with your horse to become his chosen leader. This is a must read for all horse owns and people who train horses. I find this book to be very well written and I highly recommend it to you.
