A Desperate Horses Plea

I see you, do you see me? I hear you, do you hear me? I try very hard to understand, the confusing touch of your human hand! I don’t want to resist, but sometimes that’s how I feel, your energy, your presence, it’s not always the best deal. There are other days; it all feels so very pleasant, in the now, in the moment and in the present! Please may I ask, since it was you that chose me, to give me more time for stuff, it works wait and see. I love to learn new things, but show me slow and right, I do not speak your language, I may fright or flight. If you can promise this, other things I can forget, don’t be hard on me or yourself, no need to get upset. We are two different species, I want to learn and love man, can you really return the loyalty, I’m pretty sure you can. I hear you, I hope now you hear me! I see you, I hope now you see me!

I'm a big animal person! I've never had a horse, but I've spent 14 yrs rescuing/caring for feral cats and there's nothing like the feeling that you get when you tame a wild animal and gain it's trust. I really enjoyed this!

This was a cool poem. Horses are so important. My kid was privileged to ride in therapy for a while. Ann

beautiful poetic expression- I love to learn new things,/ but show me slow and right,/ I do not speak your language,/ I may fright or flight.///
