Quotes Horse thou art truly a creature without equal, for thou fliest without wings and conquerest without sword. The Koran A horse gallops with his lungs, Perseveres with his heart, And wins with his character. Tesio He knows when you're happy He knows when you're comfortable He knows when you're confident And he ALWAYS knows when you have carrots unknown There's nothing better for the soul of a man than the outside of a horse... Ronald Reagen For want of a nail a shoe was lost, for want of a shoe a horse was lost, for want of a horse a rider was lost, for want of a rider a army was lost, for want of an army a battle was lost, for want of a battle the war was lost, for want of the war the kingdom was lost, and all for the want of a little horseshoe nail. Benjamin Franklin If your horse says no, you either asked the wrong question, or asked the question wrong. Pat Parelli Vaulted with such ease into his seat, As if an angel dropp'd down from the clouds, To turn and wind a firey Pegasus, And witch the world with noble horsemanship. William Shakespeare God forbid that I should go to any Heaven in which there are no horses. R. Graham The Horse And God took a handful of southerly wind, blew His breath over it and created the horse. Bedouin Legend A horse gallops with its lungs, perserveres with its heart, and wins with its character. Tessio If I had a horse, I'd ride off in the sunset, where dreams, and shadows lie. To a life, where pain and sorrow don't exist, and to where hopes, and dreams become reality. Lindsay Turcotte "Horses change lives. They give our young people confidence and self-esteem. They provide peace and tranquillity to troubled souls-they give us hope!" Toni Robinson Galloping where you know the ground is open and safe, racing with other horses -- ah, there is nothing like it this side of Paradise, or even the other side, unless we do get wings. Monica Dickens You and your horse. His strength and beauty. Your knowledge and patience and determination. And understanding. And love. That's what fuses the two of you into this marvelous partnership that makes you wonderful, what can Heaven offer any better than what you have here on earth? Monica Dickens A horse turned out in a field is very different from a horse that is being led or ridden. Take him out on a cold day -- there's hardly time to slip off the halter or unsnap the rope before he's off. He gallops, stops, spins round, stares, arches his neck to shake his head and gallop off again. How beautifully supple and balanced he is! He can gallop from a standstill, stop dead, flick round a tight turn, slip, recover gracefully, swerve, change legs three times in three strides, this horse who has never managed a flying change with you. He charges down from the top corner and stops with four feet together, head high, snorting, tail up like a stallion. One eye is on the gate to make sure he is admired, and he snorts into the wind like a dragon, then trots out, sailing, this horse you can't pursued into more than an apology for an extended trot. Monica Dickens If a car passes me when I'm on a horse, I always think: "If I were in that car and saw me, I would wish I was me. Wistful children's faces, staring out of the back window, agree." Monica Dickens
