28.10.2021 Poems by Pam

By Sue Palmer on October 28, 2021

By Sue Palmer on October 27, 2021

Chapter 12: Does your horse score 10/10 for comfort? “For centuries, humans have said to horses ‘You do what I tell you or I’ll hurt you.’ Humans still say that to each other – still threaten, force and intimidate… At heart, I’m saying that no one else has the right to say ‘you must’ to […]
