Freedom

I look at his face, I see love. I look at his legs, I see him running. I look at his mane and tail, I see it blowing in the wind. I look at his back, I see no human. I look at his ears, I see them hearing my every word. I look at him rear, I see his hooves raking the clouds. I look at his muzzle, I see him let out a battle cry. I look into his eyes, I see him fighting his battle to freedom. I see him win, because no one can take away his freedom, for he is the heart of his world.

Your tribute to equine nobility is, perhaps, a "horse of a different color" and is sure to elicit comments from animal lovers in general. You have painted a compelling picture.

I can't decide if you are talking about an animal of some sorts or perhaps you are talking about a human being in that manner.
