Photo Seven: Another member of the girls group, Angela, gets frustrated when she is unable to guide her horse, Buddy, to the stepping block, she then tries to drag him and he freezes up on her. Litterer said, “These animals are enormous, and they’re going to mirror your emotions, whatever you give you get back.”
