Water for the Horses

Last week I ran into a woman riding horses through Santa Barbara. As this is an unusual occurrence, I striked up conversation and got her story. Karin Hauenstein is riding from Lompoc to Studio City in California with her three horses in protest of commercial horse slaughter. She stops every 10 to 15 miles on her journey down to LA to raise awareness for the cause. Karin stopped by our house to water and graze the horses before they headed down State Street in Santa Barbara. Here are some photos of her and her horses: Coley, Glory and Smoke.
