| My Beautiful horse, Strider |
“Hello boy”, I whispered as he gently placed his velvet muzzle in the palm of my hands. Gazing into the deep pools of his eyes, I suddenly became aware that I was staring through the window to his soul. I fell into a world of love, serenity, courage and kindness. A world that had no place for judgment, anger, resentment or hate. His world.
Side by side, we quietly skipped through the long grass, which was swooshing around our adjacent feet. There was not a person in sight, except myself and my regal companion. He held is head high in the sky like he had not a care in the world, the sun beaming golden rays on his chestnut coloured coat. He was the most magnificent creature I had ever seen. I couldn’t help but fall into deep admiration for the gift God had sent me. As he grazed upon the luscious green grass, I sat beside him, telling him my secrets. He shook his head eagerly up and down as if he was listening to my every word. I lay my back on the ground and stared at the sky whilst I embraced the sounds of the birds singing around me.
As a little girl, it was all I ever wished for. As a teenager now, it’s all I could ever wish to keep. In my eyes is nothing remotely close to the untainted love of my horse.
