Joe — i look forward to reading each of your posts… it’s like sharing life, knowing we’re all together in this and your insights are comforting and healing.

Malachi was a beautiful spirit – there’s got to be a book coming, especially with that photograph. it’s a God thing going on here.

Again, thanks for sharing.

Joe I still think of the horses that came into my life. Some of them only stayed a short while, and I can still see them doing something really silly, and I still smile even if there are tears in my eyes. Malachi will be forever with you, because he imbedded hisself so deep in your heart. There will be days when you think of him, and you will smile, and have tears in your eyes.

Joe,
I only sent you a short email about Malachi, but know so well
how you felt. I had to have my App gelding put down almost
seven years ago & still miss him so. He was with me for 16
years and was 28 when he died. Losing a little guy like you
did had to be so very hard.
I so enjoy reading the blog & people’s comments.
Thanks for all you do for the horses

I answered this the other day but don’t know where it went! My soul is with you and Kathleen and the four-legged family. Grief takes a long time, I know. Glad you finally soaked in the love we sent.A much needed respite from the stress of moving. Your meadow picture is on my wall right over the computer!Thanks!!!

They do teach us so much. I find that in order to figure it out I just have to sit back, relax and don’t over think about it. Your newsletters and blogs have taught me so much to and I thank you for that.

Thanks for the beautiful blog entries. We feel as if we know you– you’ve given us so much of yourself in your writing and your beautiful pictures of your herd. We love you, too.

Hello Joe,
My name is Keith King and I only knew you a short time in Biloxi while my wife Toni helped you with your boat. I also only got involved with horses about two years ago and have experienced many of the same issues with our approach as you have described in your book. It was quite a suprise when my daughter gave me your book and I saw your name and picture. It was a great read and I hope you keep it up. I would love to talk to you sometime. I still live in south Mississippi, but Toni and I got divorced right after Katrina. I have since purchased my retirement property in Colorado. It is a certified organic cattle ranch and we have six quarter horses there. I am raising three horses here in Mississippi that I will take with me to Colorado. Hope to here from you soon.

Hi Joe, I just wanted to thank you for sharing so much about your life with horses.I look foward everyday to see if you have sent an e-mail. Horses have become such an important part of my life also. I have recently brought horses to my property, I am now an owner of two and one pony, all rescued from auction. Currently I am learning about the fascinating world of equine facilitated learning and psychotherapy.They have so much to give. Many blessings, Karen
