"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has."

   -- Margaret Mead

"When I see a horse, I see an animal whose ancestors time and time again were the only creatures on earth standing between my ancestors and certain death. And I realize that I might not even be here   if it were not for these majestic animals. I do what I can for them knowing that it is enough that I am    of value to somebody today. Please support your local SPCA and   Equine Rescue Services." 
               --Author Bob Miller 2004

“There are a lot of horse organizations out there, but I have yet to come across any that go to the lengths that Habitat for Horses does to save and protect horses. Everyone that loves horses should join and support Habitat for Horses.”

- Willie Nelson
