Dear Foxy,

This would bear out her experience of “The horses bring a very calm and soothing energy to the area. And the boys show a completely different side when they’re with their horses. They become calmer and more sensitive and more caring.”

A few years ago we had to put down our mare after managing to get her to the ripe old age of 30. I still pine for her and can attest to her calming influence. The ears have to be the most expressive part of a horse.

Dear nicknamenick,

Well she admits to seeking out her 'Celtic warrior tribe' so I don't think we can think of her just as a demure damsel. She must have had been a tough cookie to get those lads on board.

Dear SteeleRedux,

Although I did not own a horse we lived near a
Riding School and the owner of the school would
allow me to help groom some of the horses as needed.
I became very attached to one particular horse. And
you're right about the calming effect that these
animals can have. I was so miserable when the school
was sold and the horses were moved out. I still love
horses to this day.

She named her horse Danu after the Celtic earth goddess and the boys brought out the viking in her. ." The horse culture has very deep roots in Ireland, both from Celtic times, and from the industrial revolution."
Can't see her claiming a Celtic tribe , more like a Norse queen over Dublin horse-men .
( Strange fact : Danu is a goddess of Bali indonesia).

Thanks Steele,

A great piece of 'Street Music' loved it! A real positive message coming through, that despite the conditions, despite the adversity, despite a multitude of problems faced by people, there is positives to be had, and there is hope for a better future for those in society who are marginalized and seen as worthless.

Dear Paul,

So true. People can surprise - definitely.
All one needs is to be receptive.

I've learned so much over the years from inter-acting
with young people, working with the elderly, even
talking to bikie gang members in a tattoo parlour (I was
getting a tattoo on my ankle).

Life is a journey and a learning process
and Steele's musical narrative here is so uplifting.
A great change from the usual blame game for daring to
speak you mind on this forum.

Here is a link that's worth a read on the
Liberties - Dublin. The history is fascinating.
It would be a great place to visit. And who amongst
us does not love Ireland and the Irish.
