What splendid beauty such creatures as horses are
in their majesty as they stand in green pastures under
the night stars.
Compare the noise and neon lights of the dirty
city streets,
With a mare softly nickering her foal to sleep.

Never be in such a hurry to stop and appreciate the beauty of
this creature in a field,
Or how a foal frolicking in a pasture can bring traffic to
a stand still.
The lessons learned on a horse farm are remembered
with fondness as age creeps in,
Like how a picturesque sunrise can make a perfect day
or a beautiful sunset can bring peace at days end.

The penny-wise and pound foolish theory of buying the
best hay
And how the night sky can take your breath away at the end of a day.

Do not take good health for granted is a lesson to heed,
Oh' the weight of water buckets and how painful frozen
fingers and toes can be.
Keep your over head low and your expectations high
is the norm,
Because as the saying goes "s--- happens on a horse farm."

Be tough minded but tendered hearted as you maneuver
the course.
And it's OK to grieve for a friend even though its a horse.
 
Take time to smell the roses before you leave this world and bid adieu

And remember that wishes made while blowing out birthday
candles can sometimes come true.

And remember that God granted your wishes,
give Him your thanks and trust,

Because you were given the chance to experience
this magnificent creature that He gave to us.
