Today was an interesting day...we took a visit to the Southern Style Stables just outside Conway, South Carolina. The stable takes in abused and neglected animals of all kinds and gives them a safe place to live their lives peacefully. People who abuse animals, in my opinion, should be shot. How can somebody ever cause harm to such a beautiful and magnificent creature. I really haven't had much experience around horses before today but, after meeting these kind and gentle souls today, I think I can now say that I am a horse lover. They were so sweet!
Anyway...here's some pics I took of the darlings...
horse so free
your mane
it sweeps
through the wind
flapping against
your mighty neck
as you run
through the grass
the sound
of a gentle thunder
building
as you gain speed
and you
belt out
your happy little neigh
as you fly across
the open grasslands
no chains
no fences
nothing to tie
you back
your eyes
so big and brown
telling your
sad story
of the past
when you couldn't
feel the dirt
fly up between
your hooves
when you
weren't so free
and you awoke
each day to
the crack of a whip
and the echoing
of a sinister voice
beating down upon you
those days are gone
and you were saved
stroke of luck
a kind soul found you
and took you away
to a place where
the grass sings out
with the greenness of life
and the air
smells sweetly
of country sunshine
where no hands
are laid upon you
except those of respect
where you are free
to live
to be
to soar!
