The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.
(Arabian Proverb)

He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.

Welcome to HorseHints. It is my dream that this site will become one of your favorite informational horse sites!

Human history and horse history have been connected through the ages. It may be as much as 5,000 years. From chariots to the Pony Express, to the present day, horses have played major roles in many cultures around the world. Our equine friends have wonderful rhythm and style. They continue to be part of our human fabric--thrilling and influencing us today. Knowledge about horses is endless. This may be one of the many reasons that make our equine friends so interesting. "HorseHints" will be a growing informational site addressing everything dealing with horses. An endless vacuum of knowledge and research keeps horse people alert and vibrant. This sight is interactive. I will research and respond to your suggestions and inquiries. Then, I will upload the information to this site. For me this is a joy.
