The California Supreme Court just ruled to uphold Proposition 8, banning same-sex marriages. For more on Prop. 8 and how it impacts all of us, please see my entry below, from December, 2008. And check-out my column on Examiner.com for another take on the recent decision. Search "Rachel Pray" or "LA Animal Training" on the homepage to find my entries.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of our lives!

About Me
- Rachel Pray
- Los Angeles, CA, United States
- I have had a connection with horses my entire life. When I was four, I rode for the first time, in a London, England park. At seven, I learned from the master, an obstinate Shetland pony known as “Ferris.” By the time I was nine years old, I was competing on the flat, over jumps, and schooling green horses. Shy with my peers, introverted and often filled with fear and anxiety, horses helped me to gain self-confidence, to feel solid, calm and at ease. I learned that a huge, powerful animal would listen to and respect me, if I used the correct signals, and communicated what I wanted clearly and consistently. Horses are honest creatures, they react to what is actually going on around them, not to what we want them to believe or what we wish others to perceive about us. They are barometers of truth. The great power and wisdom of the horse is how it will always tell you how YOU truly feel, and help you to become your most authentic self, in the process.
