Just a horse.
From time to time people tell me “chill out, it’s just a horse” or “it’s a lot of money just for a horse.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time invested, or the costs incurred by “just a horse”.
Some of my proudest moments have occurred with “just a horse.”
Many hours have passed being my only company “just a horse”, but not for one moment did I feel despised. Some of my saddest moments have been because of “just a horse,” and on those gray days, the gentle touch of “just a horse” gave me comfort and the reason to get through the day.
If you also think “it’s just a horse”, then you’ll probably understand phrases like “just a friend”, “just a sunrise” or “just a promise.” “Just a horse” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust and pure unbridled joy. “Just a horse” brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
For “just a horse” I will get up early, take long rides and look forward to the future. So for me and people like me, it’s not “just a horse,” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the memories of the past, and the absolute joy of the moment. “Just a horse” brings out the good in me and takes my thoughts away from myself and daily worries.
I hope one day they can understand that it’s not “just a horse”, but the one that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.” So the next time you hear the phrase “just a horse”, just smile because they “just don’t get it”.
