"Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success." --- Dale Carnegie (American lecturer and author 1888- 1955)

Texas is a great place to live, I was reminded of that this morning by this horse in Denton County. Like this wise horse knows, pride is everything and it just makes good old fashioned horse sense to settle down in a place where you're welcomed into a community of people that is warm and friendly.

Mission Statement: To support the people who desire pride of ownership in a community that is for the people who believe in freedom and the American Dream.

Judith,

The next time I'll be sure to pack a bag filled with apples for moments like this. This horse was comical. I was trying to get a picture of his whole face and body and he charged at me and this was my first shot! I finally managed to get a whole shot of him; however, this one was my favorite!

Hi William, thank you, coming from a professional photographer, I take that as a compliment. I agree - the nose knows best!

Have a great night!

Thank you Steve, I thought Dale Carnegie's quote fit the photograph and illustrated my point. Communicating this way always brings awareness to the focal point. The horse was an inspiration - must be because he has horse sense :)

Larry & Sheila,

The horse is smiling because his owners have good horse sense. The owners know that living n Denton County is very affordable and that's why everyone is smiling!

When you move to Texas, you'll find miles of smiles.

Keep smiling and have a wonderful day :)

Come on down and give him a little plucking and he'll look good as new!

I'll stand back and zoom in on you with my camera to see how it all works out (LOL)
