There is no better way to make the viewers feel warmer and happier than including an adorable puppy, an attractive man, and a stately horse. Budweiser…

Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While most little girls were daydreaming of becoming a ballerina or a princess, I was dreaming of being a cowgirl.

Katy runs the place and buys and sells horses. I knew why Kelly brought us here. It was to sell Nevaeh or get a new horse, but I…
