thunder?"
"Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils
is terrible."
"He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to
meet the armed men."
"He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted, neither turneth he back
from the sword."
--JOB 39: 19-22

To Run with the Wind
Romp in the sun
Freedom bids calling
with every turn
Majestically dancing
purest of heart
beckoning Joy
And all heavens truth
And Horses run freely
Frolic and play
The essence of freedom
We seek everyday
When we were children.
They Touched in our dreams
We return once again
With blessed vision we see.
Hearts of pure giving
Kissed by the sun
free is the spirit
light as the wind
In all of their strength,
and in their power
Sheer elegant grace
Capable of Fury
The heart of the beast
Gentle and giving
awakens the places
Our hearts may be sleeping
So gentle and kind
wanting to please,
honesty's essence
purest of love.
The call of the wild
Sings straight to our souls
To watch horses running
"Magic!",.. behold~.
Hear angels singing,
As they dance in the wind
Great Spirit Calling,
Comforted souls
Centered and joyous
Still Freedom's promise...
Running with Horses
Right here before us.

On the first day of creation,
God created the Horse
On the second day,
God created Man
to serve the Horse
On the third day,
God created all the animals of the earth
to spook the Horse
when Man was upon his back.
On the fourth day,
God created honest toil
so that man could labor to pay
for the keeping of the Horse
On the fifth day,
God created the grasses in the field
so that Horse could eat
and man could do an honest day's toil ,
and ... clean-up after the Horse.
On the sixth day,
God created veterinary science
to keep the Horse healthy
and Man broke.
On the seventh day,
God rested and said "This is good!"
This will teach Man humility,
it will tire him out and keep him striving ever forward!
to meet the needs of the Horse

The Horses Prayer
(Author Unknown)
Feed me, water and care for me, and when the days work is done, provide me with shelter, a clean dry bed and a stall wide enough for me to lie down in comfort.
Always be kind to me. Talk to me. Your voice often means as much to me as the reins. Pet me sometimes, that I may serve you the more gladly and learn to love you.
Do not jerk the reins, and do not whip me when going uphill. Never strike, beat or kick me when I do not understand what you want, but give me a chance to understand you.
Watch me; and if I fail to do your bidding, see if something is wrong with my harness or feet.
I cannot tell you when I am thirsty so give me clean, cool water often. I cannot tell you in words when I am sick, so watch me, that by signs you may know my condition.
Give me all possible shelter from the hot sun, and put a blanket on me, not when I am working, but when standing in the cold. Never put a frosty bit in my mouth; first warm it by holding it a moment in your hands.
I try to carry you and your burdens without a murmur, and wait patiently for you long hours of the day or night. Without the power to choose my shoes or path, I sometimes fall on the hard pavements which I have often prayed might be of such a nature as to give me a safe and sure footing.
Remember that I must be ready at any moment to lose my life in your service.
And finally, O Master, when my useful strength is gone, do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some cruel owner to be slowly tortured or starved to death; but do thou, my Master, take my life in the kindest way. And your God will reward you here and hereafter. You will not consider me irreverent if I ask this in the name of HIM, who was born in a stable.
Amen
