We had a great time both days and I want to once again say Thank you to our crew for their support, encouragement, and help at the vet stops; and especially to my daughter Natalie, who was consistant with the carrots, water, and snacks. We couldn't have done it without you.
Our Heavenly Father, give me strength to guide my horse. Make my hands soft & my head clear. Let my horse understand me & I him. Protect our every step.
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, let that need never lessen. Always let my breath catch as the sun gleams on their elegant heads.
Always may my throat tighten at the sound of a gentle nicker. Let the scent of fresh hay & a new bag of grain be sweet to me. Let the warm touch of a warm nose on my hand always bring a smile.
The grace & splendor of a running horse, the thunder of it's hooves, makes my eyes burn & my heart soar, let it always be so. Heavenly Father grant me patience, for horses are harnessed wind & wind can be flighty. Let me not frighten or harm them, instead show me ways to understand them.
Above all, Heavenly Father, fill my life with them & when I pass from this world, send my soul to Heaven with them, for this love you have given me graces my esistence & I shall cherish it & praise You for it for all time.
Amen
