Before I served in the 1st Marine Regiment in Vietnam, I had already been charmed and bedazzled by horses. After returning, badly wounded, horses became my solace and my strength. Almost 50 years now have passed since that service and the old pensioned mares and one gelding that still parade around our paddocks are still magic to me. I found some of myself in this BH article.
