🩷 Let Them Have a Horse...

Let them have a horse, let them ride,
Let them learn with dirt stained pride.
Give them reins and room to grow,
Show them truths only horses know.

Let them feel the morning chill,
Boots in stirrups, heart be still.
Let them fight for what they earn,
Through every fall, let them return.

Let them brush and braid and mend,
Make the barn their second home.
Let them whisper, laugh, and cry,
Beneath the endless, open sky.

Let them know the work is tough,
That love alone is only one part.
That feed needs hauling, stalls need cleaned...
That dreams are earned by hands that work.

Let them feel the wind in their hair,
And the freedom only horses share.
For horses teach what words cannot...
Strength, respect, and all they’ve got.

So when they ask, don’t think twice,
The price is high, but so’s the gain.
Because without a horse, they’ll never know, the kind of love that helps them grow.

In their eyes lies a whole universe of strength we, as humans, often fail to understand.

A horse doesn’t cry out when it hurts. It doesn’t complain, doesn’t quit — even when it’s exhausted.
It just keeps going. Faithfully. Bravely. All the way.

These incredible creatures hold something many of us lack —
an unbreakable spirit.
Wordless loyalty.
True dignity that no weight, no betrayal, no defeat can crush.

A horse may fall — but it will always rise again.
It may be afraid — but it still follows where the heart leads.
It remembers kindness — and never forgets it.

We like to think we’re stronger, smarter, more evolved...
But maybe, just maybe, we should stop and look into a horse’s eyes.
Because in them lives the pure truth about strength that doesn’t shout.
About faith that asks for nothing in return.
And about love that stays — even through pain.

Perhaps it’s not just books we should learn from…
but those who speak no words, and yet understand life better than we ever will.
