Falling Off a Horse

In the past during many a generation, a horse has been used for transportation. Usually obedient animals not needing a goad, they are quite strong, and can pull a heavy load. Horseback riding is a past time many know. On a country trail, it’s the way to go. Sometimes, horses are animals with a mind of their own. If they don’t like a rider, that person can be thrown. Horses can be insubordinate and very fickle. If you fall off a horse, it doesn’t tickle. These creatures can be a very faithful friend. However, they can cause injury that may be hard to mend.

A horse can be a very faithful friend. Many animals are very wise, perhaps wiser than man. No envy, gossip, or lies. As long as humans give animals food, shelter and love - they are always your friend. If you fall off the horse, get up on your feet and on horseback again. It is usually not the horse his fault that one falls off. - Good written Robert. - Oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
