| Don't Cry for the Horses 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 Do you hear that soft nicker Close to your ear? Don't cry for the horses Love the ones that are here. written by Brenda Riley-Seymore |
| The Horse Prayer Feed me, give me water, and care for me, and when the day's work is done, give me shelter, a clean bed and a wide stall. Talk to me. Your voice often substitutes for the reins for me. Be good to me and I will serve you cheerfully and love you. Don't jerk the reins and don't raise the whip. Don't beat or kick me when I don't understand you, but rather give me time to understand you. Don't consider it disobedience if I don't follow your commands. Perhaps there is a problem with my saddle and bridle or hooves. Check my teeth if I don't eat, maybe I have a toothache. You know how that hurts. Don't halter me too short and don't dock my tail... it's my only weapon against flies and mosquitoes. And at the end, dear master, when I am no longer any use to you, don't let me go hungry or freeze and don't sell me. Don't give me a master who slowly tortures me to death and lets me starve, but rather be merciful and take care of me, by letting me run and enjoy a warm pasture. Let me request this of you and please don't regard it as disrespectful if I ask it in the name of Him who was born in a stable like me. Amen (author unknown). |
| REMINDER All Horse Creek Saddle Club members are responsible for helping work at the Horse Creek Shows. A representative from each family needs to plan on setting aside a time to help in the bird house, arena, concession stand, or with giving out ribbons. Also, we ask that each family bring a case of drinks on the day of our home shows. Please contact Jessica for more information. 912-270-1393 |
