Have loved every minute of my visit through your albums. The trail riding must be very rewarding aswell as tough. The horses and dogs obvisously love it. Thanks for sharing a great experience, I shall be back to visit your albums again. Jules from Norfolk in the East of England.

I need to explore your albums. You tell about a side of Florida I hardly knew, despite living there for two decades. I remember there was an exhibitor with Florida Cracker horses at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo several years ago and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper had an article on the horse breed. Your album is fascinating and informative.

It took awhile to read every single page but the commentary is just so compelling. I just got a great AND practical history lesson. Very neat. ...smile... deb, fl

A truly great album showcasing REAL people doing what they love. I especially like the photo of Carol Bailey as the light is wonderful - I'd hazard a quess it was taken during "the Golden Hour". Also, thanks for your very generous praise of my Jekyll Island Album.

Hi Judge! Another fascinating album of a truly beautiful breed of horse. It is hard to believe that a domestic breed can be endangered. It looks like there are a lot of caring people to help the breed stay alive. Fantastic portraits of so many lovely people. Ms. Walls looks like a truly remarkable lady...one I would love to meet. Please keep these fantastic albums coming! Thanks for sharing with us...take care...Darlene

Thanks for stopping by and for your challenging comment. Will do and will let you know first. I watched the full slide show of this album as history fascinates me as do horses. I can honestly say I've never heard of the Cracker horses. Interesting. They do appear small though as I'm used to riding quarterhorses. Looks like a very hearty animal and the story was fascinating. Photos are great as is the subject matter. Will be back to browse more. Thanks for sharing and for your comments. Take care, Sharon/Arizona

Thank you for commenting on my photos! I used to live in Florida as a kid! I know all about that place. I was born in Wyoming and it has always been in my heart. Looks like you guys have all kinds of good fun! Reminds me of summer here. It snowed here yesterday..Again! Love your Photos! Keep in touch!

Thank you for your kind remarks on my Cracker Day album. I really enjoyed the day in spite of the horrible weather. I browsed your albums and enjoyed them greatly - you do show a side of FL that not many get to see. Love the pix of the Cowhunters. Wanda
