Ive Just Seen This Poem On Another Site And Thought Id Share It.. Ode to the Horse by Robert Duncan Where in this wide world can men find nobility without pride, Friendship without envy, or beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is laced with power and strength tempered by gentleness. He serves without servility, he has force without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent. There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient. Our pioneers were borne on his back, Our history is his industry. We are his heirs and he is our inheritance... The horse.

That is the poem that is said at the end of each day at the Horse of the Year show, or used to be. Yes, it is beautiful

i have this one...always makes me think of my boy!! i LOVE him!! Let me teach you. When you are tense, let me teach you to relax. When you are short tempered, let me teach you to be patient. When you are short sighted, let me teach you to see. When you are quick to react, let me teach you to be thoughtful. When you are angry, let me teach you to be serene. When you feel superior, let me teach you to be respectful. When you are self-absorbed, let me teach you to think of greater things. When you are arrogant, let me teach you humility. When you are lonely, let me be your companion. When you are tired, let me carry the load. When you need to learn, let me teach you. After all, I am your horse.
