NATURALLY
It's mind boggling that we consider 'Nature' as separate and distinct from us. We are Nature as the oceans and mountains and trees and rocks and animals and forests are Nature. Any system of thought that takes seriously this utterly absurd notion is more foolish that beliefs that the earth was flat and the sun revolved around the earth. One big difference is this 'we are set apart from Nature' is dangerous and grossly psychotic----without connection to reality.
So, a few thoughts to remind us.................
A “War Horse” is the term given to someone who has
lived through many hardships and can always be relied on.
"The horse.
Here is nobility without conceit;
friendship without envy;
beauty without vanity.
A willing servant, yet no slave."
~ Ronald Duncan
"In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have.
Eleven hundred pounds of raw muscle, power, grace and sweat between your legs
-- it's something you just can't get from a pet hamster."
~ Anonymous
"Horses know nothing of money, status, beauty or accomplishment…
Horses see only our hearts, and they accept or reject us based on what they find within…
In short, horses do naturally what humans can pass a lifetime without ever mastering."
~ Author Mary Miidkiff, quoted in the Denver Post
I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"God forbid that I should go to any heaven where there are no horses"
~ R.B.Cunningham-Graham
"We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals."
~ Immanuel Kant
"The one best precept - the golden rule in dealing with a horse -
is never to approach him angrily. Anger is so deviod of forethought
that it will often drive a man to do things which in a calmer mood he will regret.
~Xenophon
"Every animal knows more than you do."
~ Native American Proverb
"Riding: The art of keeping a horse between you and the ground. "

Never a cowboy that couldn't be throwed."

"When God created the horse he said to the magnificent creature:
I have made thee as no other.
All the treasures of the earth lie between thy eyes.
Thou shalt carry my friends upon thy back.
Thy saddle shall be the seat of prayers to me.
And thou fly without wings, and conquer without any sword. Oh, horse."
~ Quote of unknown source (often incorrectly attributed to the Koran)
"If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right"
~ Tina Estridge
"Life's greatest gift is the soft feathery
breath of a horse blowing gently on your neck."
~ Ellen Bancroft's website
"Small friend, from you we learn
that a horse without a rider is always a horse,
but a rider without a horse is only a man."
~ Hans Heinrich Isenbart
"Be sure you know the condition of your flocks;
give careful attention to your herds."
~ Proverbs 27:23
"A good man is concerned
for the welfare of his animals."
~ Proverbs 12:10

is a sacred responsibility taught by Crow Elders."

"His neigh is like the bidding of a monarch and his
countenance enforces homage. He is indeed a Horse"
~ William Shakespear
"You can spend a lot of money on a fine dog,
but only kindness will make his tail wag."
~ Will Rogers
"May the trail rise up to greet you as you ride
May the stars reach down and touch you with their light
May the tumbleweeds at play, keep you company by day
And the coyotes serenade you through the night
May no mountain be too high for you to climb
May no river be too rapid or too wide
May your pony serve you well, and take you home to your corral
May the spirit of the prairie be your guide"
~ Dave Stamey, Cowboy Poet
"Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby,
to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire.
It is a grand passion.
It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so,
he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"She never shook the stars from their appointed courses,
But she loved good men. And she rode good horses."
~ Margot Liberty
Wyoming historian, circa 1900
"There's nothing like the outside of a horse
to help the inside of a person."
"No matter who says what,
don't believe it if your horse says it's a lie."
