Astride

To sit a horse in winds of force With whiskers blowing in the face Of risking knowing it's a race Through hills and dales of clinging gorse To save a little face without remorse Before the sun has run its course But mostly just to sit a horse and feel the mounting joy beneath my trembled legs As feelings spread to mind equine And all our world is ever fine On dancing hooves I feel are mine

When I was in grammar school I fell down and slipped a disc which kept me from ever being able to ride a horse. I envy those who can ... it looks very freeing. Been awhile since you've posted here at the Soup, Donald. Hope you return soon with more wonderful writing !!

sounds so loverly I guess when you know what you're doing it is! Horses like me, I'd don't care much for being looked at by one eye at a time LOL or how very stubborn they can be. Light & Love PS better not to use face twice ;)
