Oh Maria. Hi. I'm so sorry that happened to you. That wasn't a good experience at all. I miss my riding days but the memories and feeling lives on. There is something special about the bond of horse and rider. It is magical and such an understanding between both. Have a wonderful afternoon or night and I will see you on your page later on. Thank you again.

Yes, they are a very regal animal. (of course) Only once have I ridden a horse, but I'll never forget the experience! Lovely and uplifting poem, Lisa

To really know a horse - how few people on earth have the opportunity. To be treasured, indeed.

I love dogs and horses above all other animals. Your poem sings of how deeply we can love, not only our family and lovers but animals as well. Exceptional free verse and a fav....

- Animals are more understanding and loving than us humans - My daughter was a "horse girl" in her childhood and teenage years - I have spent many hours among horses ... but I am not a rider myself - A wonderful poem, Lisa :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Love comes in many shapes and sizes, but this love affair brings such joy to the reader (me). Being an animal lover I can feel this bound between you and your horse, though it is much more than just a horse. From what I read it is your best friend, the one you can depend on no matter what. The feeling is strong in this and as beautiful as any love can be. Wonderfully written Lisa.

An enchanting piece Lisa:) They are so worthy of love for how they enrich our lives in ways that almost defy words. A lovely poem honouring these magnificent animals. an ending with a smile:) lynnxxx fellow poet Chris Hagy writes of her animals beautifully. She is truly 'at one' with them...your words of love reminded me of her animal tributes.

I sometimes write poems for my friend, where she rides Pegasus, or a Unicorn, magical poems. I love your poem, it has that same sense of magic I sometimes try to capture :) Beautiful, Lisa.

It had to be a horse, "of course"! (This masterpiece earned 7 despite my being jealous of an animal for the first time in 55 years. Have I envied a bird or two? Not sure anymore. Just take 7 for excellence, & scratch all my heartbreak)

Lulu, my oldest daughter has a love affair with horses and, upon hearing the gentle vibrant flow of your poem said that she literally felt transported. We both did actually:) Amitiés
