Blazer, the Little Horse that Could! « Straight from the Horse's Heart

As funny as this may sound one of the most significant influences in my life was not a person, a book or even a song; it was my horse Blazer. I was given Blazer as a birthday gift when I was 10 years old and from that day on my life was never the same. I spent all my time with Blazer. He taught me commitment, responsibility, and how to love something unconditionally and for him he expected nothing in return but maybe a treat every now and then. Through Blazer, I grew as a person. I trained him from the ground up and made him into something that no one else ever thought he could be. Blazer was 14.2 hands, which is about 4'6 in feet.
