     Poetry Day Horse

    Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,

    Friendship without envy,

    Or beauty without vanity?

    Here, where grace is served with muscle

    And strength by gentleness confined

    He serves without servility; he has fought without enemy.

    There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.

    There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient. Ronald Duncan

     

    Somewhere in time’s own space

    There must be some sweet pastured place

    Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow

    Some paradise where horses go,

    For by the love that guides my pen

    I know great horses live again. Stanley Harrison

     

    Again the early morning sun was generous with its warmth.

    All the sounds dear to a horseman were around me- the snort of the horses as they cleared their throats, the gentle swish of their tails, the tinkle of irons as we flung the saddles over their backs- little sounds of no importance, but they stay in the unconscious library of memory. Wynford Vaughan Thomas

     

    In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. Eleven hundred pounds of raw muscle, power, grace and sweat between your legs- it’s something you just can’t get from a hamster. Unknown

     

    Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people. WC Fields

     

    Riding: The art of keeping a horse between you and the ground. Unknown

     

    Horses are uncomfortable in the middle and dangerous at both ends. Ian Fleming

     

    Small children are convinced that ponies deserve to see the inside of the house. Maya Patel

     

    The daughter who won’t lift a finger in the house is the same child who cycles madly off in the pouring rain to spend all morning mucking out a stable. Samantha Armstrong
