Two Horses

Image
There is a field with two horses in it. From a distance each looks like every other horse. But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing. Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose he is blind. His owner has chose to not have him put down and has made a good home for him. This alone is amazing.

TAUGHT, YOUTHFUL SKIN: Anti-inflammatory proanthocyanidins in apple peels are proven to soothe facial redness. Plus, the fruit's rich stores of vitamin C help the body synthesize skin-plumping collagen. Studies suggest that these dual processes can visibly improve skin's texture, firmness and radiance by up to 65% in just 3 w
