To Thee, my master, I offer my prayer.
Feed me, water and care for me, and when
the
day's work is done, provide me with shelter, a
clean, dry bed and stall wide enough for me
to
lie down in comfort.
Always be kind to me. Your voice often
means as much to me as the reins. Never
strike,
beat, or kick me when I don't
understand what you want,
but give me the chance to
understand
you. Pet me sometimes, that I may
serve you the
more gladly and learn to love you.
Make sure that I am properly shod
that I may serve you
in comfort.
And finally, Oh my master, when
my useful strength is gone, do
not turn me out to starve or
freeze or sell me to some
cruel owner to be slowly tortured
and starved to death; but do thou,
My master, take my life in the
kindest way and God will reward
you here and hereafter. You
will not consider me irreverent
to ask this in the name
of Him who was born
in a stable.
AMEN

They breathe. You breathe. They run. So do you. They have feelings. You do, too. So why oh why are they to die, to sit alone and sadly cry? This is not the way to go, as many horses may soon know. They don't want their lives to end, but themselves they cannot defend. So all they can do is hope and pray, that sometime they will see the day when all the horses, big and small, will have the hope to carry on.

Dearest God in Heaven
Give me strength to guide my horse.
Make my hands soft and my head clear.
Let my horse understand me and I him.
My heart you have blessed with a special love of these animals.
Let me never lose sight of it.
My soul you have gifted with a deep need for them.
as the sun gleams on an Elegant head. Always may my
throat tighten at the sound of a gentle nicker.
Let the scent of fresh hay and a new bag of grain
Always be sweet to me. Let the touch of a
warm nose on my hand always bring a smile.
I adore the joy of a warm day on the farm.
The grace and splendor of a running horse,
the thunder of its hooves makes my eyes burn
and my heart soar, Let it always be so.
Dearest God grant me patience, For horses are
harnessed wind and wind can be flighty.
Let me not frighten or harm them,
Instead show me ways to understand them.
Above all, dear God, fill my life with them.
When I pass from this world, send my soul
to no heaven without them. For this love you
have given me graces my existence, And I shall
cherish it and praise you for it all the time.
Amen
Don't Cry for the Horses
By Brenda Riley-Seymore
Don't cry for the horses that life has set free
A million white horses forever to be
Don't cry for the horses now in God's hands
As they dance and they prance to a heavenly band.
They were ours as a gift but never to keep
As they close their eyes forever to sleep
Their spirits unbound on silver wings they fly
A million white horses against the blue sky.
Look up into heaven you'll see them above
The horses we lost, the horses we loved
Manes and tails flowing they Gallop through time
They were never yours, they were never mine.
Don't cry for the horses. They will be back someday,
When our time has come they will show us the way
On silver wings they will lift us to the warmth of the sun.
When our life is over and eternity has begun.
We will jump the sun and dance over the moon
A ballet of horses and riders on the winds to a heavenly
tune. Do you hear that soft nicker close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses, love the ones that are here.
Don't cry for the horses lift up your sad eyes
Can't you see them as they fly by?
A million White Horses free from hunger and pain
Their spirits set free until we ride again
