It has been said many times that horses have the power to heal. They have a gentle, yet full of life, spirit that seems to touch the souls of human beings. There is something in their grace that makes a person feel free, something in their eyes that shows unparalleled loyalty and love. When you have the chance to run your hand along the side of a horse, feeling him breath, feeling his strength, feeling his life, you have the chance to feel what being alive really is.
Somehow a horse knows when you just need to be in awe of him and he humbly stands there and lets you embrace his beauty. He takes nothing from the moment for himself, he somehow knows you need all of the energy from that moment for yourself.
When you ride a horse you feel his power underneath you as he moves. Sometimes he snorts, kicks his head back, or puts a little spring in his step just to say hi and let you know he hasn’t forgotten you.
A horse also knows when you are sick. He may just sit there and look at you, silently telling you that he cares and would take your pain if he could. He may rub his head up against your cheek to tell you that it will all be okay. He may take extra care with each step he takes to say that he knows his passenger riding on his back needs a little extra concern.
Horses have a sprit that can heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. There is something deep inside each one of them that can be found nowhere else. There is a fire it their hearts that burns with a passionate love and a flaming elegance that reached right into my heart and made me glow again even in my darkest hour.
All I can say is…thank you, thank you very much for pulling me through and making me a survivor.
