Frolicking Horses

The horses are playing in the field
Their cadenced hoof beats pound the earth
Running and bucking and kicking their heels
Frolicking in the pasture below

I love to watch them as they play
Such power behind their dainty movements
Grace that their size shouldn’t possess
Tossing their manes to and fro

Prancing now with noses turned high
Tails blowing in the wind
Then snorting and spinning to run the way they came
Making a fuss at nothing at all

Just being silly cause they’re feeling good
Rain on the horizon makes them that way
It’s blowing this way now, but still they play
Without a care in the world, Free!

~My parents horses were all playing in their field
yesterday-They are truly amazing to watch!~
