Painted Hunter April 18, 2013 at 1:50 PM Quite a write! I love horses too. My daughter has been on me for weeks to take her riding since it has warmed up. I've also been known to tear up the court in donkey basketball...which is hilarious and fun.

Isaiah Zerbst March 11, 2013 at 3:25 PM The use of both rhyme and acrostic is amazing! It looks like your choice of form was very limiting, yet it all flows together nicely.

David Williams March 2, 2013 at 1:01 PM This is sensational, I love this and it should do very well. I am glad you liked spiritual world because I wrote it with you in mind, seriously I did, it was something you said in a comment to someone's poem, can't remember which one, but it was for you... have a good weekend...David Deborah Burch March 3, 2013 at 3:34 AM Thank you so much for everything. I may need to send you another recipe !! Lol. Big hug love you bunches cap'n deb

Rockman Pritts March 2, 2013 at 1:07 AM What a great and informative write. I had no idea that there was a complete list of equine breeds from A-Z. I don't know a lot about horses But one thing I missed was the Pinto. I love the Palimino. It's blond and beautiful in its form. I also like the Clydesdales because of how majestic they are. But I like the Pinto, because they seem to be anxious and ready to go. Or maybe it's because that's what Tonto rode. Either way, thanks for making me think. Good job. Rockman Deborah Burch March 3, 2013 at 3:31 AM Lol. Thank you Randy. I guess I will just have to write one about the Pinto...it's a small horse The paint horse is as beautiful and bigger and my spotted saddle horse is black and white as well. Lol. You are so kind thank you. Huggsss deb
