People have been drawn to horses throughout history, and it's easy to see why. Horses are strong, graceful, and intelligent animals. They enjoy attention and company from people, and they will bond strongly with their owners. Climb on the back of one and go for a ride, and your life will be forever different. But owning a horse doesn't just change your life, it becomes your life. Your horse will depend on you for everything—food, water, exercise, and attention. And you can't exactly keep one in your living room. A horse is a huge responsibility, with equally huge rewards. Are you up for the challenge? And if you believe you are, can you convince your parents that you can care for a pet horse?
