Horses love to be with other horses, and they know exactly what the other is thinking without words, they love to be free as the wind weaving through their manes, they trust and do work for beings that try or don't try to speak their language, and most of all, when horses are in pain, they stay silent.  Not a peep, not a complaint.  That is why I risk my life every time I walk up to a horse.
