The perfect horse...
The Perfect Horse isn't necessarily stunningly beautiful; In fact, he's probably gotten a few scars and dings from life. He's probably been hurt but lived through it, been scared but overcome it, and ready to teach his rider to do the same.
The Perfect Horse is not just arena-ridden. He will let you feel what it's like to gallop through the ocean, chase a neighbor's cows, or play tag on horseback.
The Perfect Horse will buck you off when you deserve it, but wait patiently for you to get back on.
The Perfect Horse has problems; He will teach you to deal with them. The Perfect Horse knows that you can't learn to be a skilled horseman if everything goes your way.
The Perfect Horse will challenge you, but only as much as you are ready to handle. He will teach you that you still have more to learn.
The Perfect Horse is tough; He will gallop when he's too tired, jump obstacles that are too high, and go up hills that are too steep. He can handle the results of your ignorance or youth. He will make you, years later, look back and shake your head in amazement, and think, "I can't believe he did that for me".
The Perfect Horse is not, however, a superhorse. He may go lame or colic, or skin his legs. He will teach you there is more to horsemanship that riding.
The Perfect Horse will forgive you when you make mistakes, and expects you to do the same. He will try to ignore the tack that doesn't fit right, the confusing signals, and will do his best to please.
The Perfect Horse will not live on air. He will need food and water daily and a clean shelter to live in. He will teach you to work, but it will be worth it.
The Perfect Horse may not be the prettiest or the fastest, but he has the most heart. When he wins a ribbon, you know he really deserved it.
The Perfect Horse loves a good carrot and a pat on the neck. In fact, that is his greatest reward; A little treat, a little love, and appreciation is what the Perfect Horse lives for.
My Perfect Horse was-- A palomino quarter horse. I got rid of him becuase i did not think he was good enough.. But now i look back and see were he was a great horse.. No, he didn't know any tricks, and he could be an ass sometimes, but he tought me so much.. He tought me to be a better rider.. I had the most fun on him, i did things i never thought i could on him, and even though he made me really mad sometimes, he left hoof prints on my heart ♥ i never knew what a great horse he was untill he was gone.. He's never comeing back.. But i have another horse now, and even though he's not that tall, perfect horse most people want, i still love him, no matter what anybody says, and im not gonna make the same mistakes i made with my other horse. My new horse Flash will allways be perfect in my heart, and he's my best friend. If i could see my old horse Sandy right now, i would tell him what a great horse he was, and that i love him very much.. For all the people who have been disapointed with there horse, just know that your horse is awsome, and maybe the best friend you'll ever have.
This is to my horse Flash, and to the horse i used to have, Sandy.
