Why did I create the idea of a “whisper horse”, a special horse who helps my characters deal with their problems?
In this article about a therapeutic riding program, Octavia Brown, the director puts it very well:
“A horse never judges and it never thinks you’re different.”
Isn’t that the kind of confidant we all would like to have?

Yes, horses accept you for who you are. I think the same can be said for dogs (not sure about cats). Dogs simply love you.
Roni, I laughed when you mentioned cats. I’m pretty sure they consider all humans their inferiors. 🙂
