During the last five years, Murray has been building the ideal stable of riding horses. "They need to be calm, but w illing. And the horse has to enjoy being with children, Murray said. Murray also looks for a horse that doesn't bite or kick and can't get bored. "I just look for great horses. 1 hey don't need to be papered or have special bloodlines, Murray said.
