At our horseback riding school here in Montana this summer for international equestrians we are going to become knowledgeable about world history and world events. What got us where we are? What is going on now? What are possible courses of action that may take place. What do we think would be best? What else would we like to see happen?
Whitey is a pretty good platform to see the world from, seeing the world through the ears of one’s horse. You don’t have to be talking about peacemaking all the time, but you don’t know when a good idea will come up and you will want to share it with a friend.
