Hee hee. Happy to share the soapbox; my throat was getting tired, anyway. Here's the megaphone; I'm going to make a Starbucks run. Want anything?

I read an article a few months ago about veterans with severe leg and hip injuries riding horses as part of their physical therapy because the horse's walking gait is quite similar to ours and it helps the veterans regain strength iin their walking muscles. And, of course, they were finding some mental benefits as well-- as those of us who love to ride could have told them. I think someone here (probably you, Bethani!) already mentioned this, but I thought it was worth mentioning again 'cause it's neat.

Great site, by the way, I made a donation.
