Horse are more than muscle and bone .

Friendship is a quality they own .

No one has the right to demand it ,

because a horse will know if you fit .

Saddles and ropes are the things we use ,

but there are some who often abuse ,

to capture a horse or break it in .

Not many take the time to just listen .

Love and trust are a powerful force

it can capture the heart of a horse .

Harsh words are like a whip from the tongue ,

on the tight reins of fear they are hung .

Rearing up ,

defying to be seized .

Galloping off ,

flying through the breeze .

Trying not to stay wild ,

they are wise .

A mystifing look in thier eyes .

Pulling up ,

shying beside the fence .

Whispering ,

trying ,

its a sixth sense .

Horse communication is a link,

no chain can tie down the things we think .

If you understand the horse there ,

they'll trust you ,

because they know you care .
