Spirit of Horse and Man

The rider accepts the horse and the horse accepts the man. No man rides a horse… It’s a dance in poise and symmetry as one. Thump, Thump…Thump, Thump The power is felt in the movement as the horse stretches out its gate. The muscles move beneath the man with power waiting to escape. Thump, Thump…Thump, Thump The fluidity of the gate is matched by the fluidity of the man. The nostrils flair in both… The dance has just begun… Thump, Thump…Thump, Thump If they do not work together… They will not work at all. The horses’ mane like the mans’ hair, is held tight in the flowing wind. Thump, Thump…Thump, Thump With each step they take… A balance must be struck. For every step they take… Their intent must be as one. Thump, Thump…Thump, Thump The spirit of the horse must merge with the spirit of the man. Together they merge in a symbiotic relationship as old as horse and man. Thump, Thump…Thump, Thump Feel the movement… Feel the power… Feel each muscle as it moves. Feel each breeze unfold… Feel their hearts and souls as they meld as one. Thump, Thump…Thump, Thump Point to counter point… The man doesn’t own the horse or the horse the man. What looks so easy is not a simple thing as they travel forth as one. Thump, Thump…Thump, Thump The connection is tightly woven. This spirit of Horse and man. Thump, Thump…Thump, Thump And with each ride together they will meld again as one… Thump, Thump…Thump, Thump
