THE HORSE by Ronald Duncan

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
England's past has been borne on his back.
All our history is in his industry.
We are his heirs, he our inheritance.

Comment by Lindy Magnussen on April 3, 2009 at 11:31am: Hi there,
Love your pictures - thanks for inviting me as a friend. My daughter is horse crazy and rides when she can. She has been living in Cape Town, South Africa for the last 18 months and is battling to find a good place to ride.
I believe you are a very special person to have love for such a magnificent animal.
Lotsa good wishes,
Lindy
