NSH gelding Roy, galloping in El Mirage   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."   - John 8:32

"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful: But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither;  and whatever he does shall prosper."                  - Psalms 1:1-3
