"The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty and fire."
~Sharon Ralls Lemon~
"Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.
~Stanley Harrison~

Horses are poetry in motion, an apt quote.
ReplyDeleteYes, I totally agree and love to see them move.
DeleteHorses are so smart and beautiful. I have one, my Misfire. She is around 25 best we can figure. She is set in her ways, we don't ride her, she just hangs out. Beautiful pics. I need to take some pics next time I go see Misfire and share the farm with you guys.........horses and PIGs and all!
ReplyDeleteI agree Pam and how lovely to have your own horse, what a great name. I would love to see some photos of Misfire, and I also love pigs :)
DeleteOh, they are beautiful! I love seeing horses.
ReplyDeleteMe too Linda :)
DeleteThose fences show that this is a properous place. And the horses are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely aren't they? This place has been around since long before we moved here 24 years ago.
DeleteLovely quotes, Denise! And I am glad you are sharing these photos, because even if you did before I don't tire of seeing views like this again and again. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, very happy you enjoyed them.
DeleteBeautiul animals
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Margaret :)
DeleteLOVE the horses, glad you stopped and now I am fighting the urge to photoshop that red car out of this beautiful pastoral setting. LOL
ReplyDeleteGo right ahead Sandra, I'd love to see what you can do with it :)
DeleteI enjoyed your quotes on horses.
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be a calming influence.
ReplyDeleteI get the same feeling looking at horses as I do at tropical fish :)
DeleteHi Denise and another lovely post, love the horses but unfortunately horses never seem to like me, they invariably tend to give me a quick bite on the shoulder. Hope you liked my Barn Owls. All the best, John
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness John, sorry to hear that. For all our love of the animal and bird kingdom, it comes as a bit of a shock when we don't get our love for them returned in kind. Loved your Barn Owls John, thanks for letting me know about them. Super photography!!! All the best, Denise :)
DeleteThat Stanley Harrison verse brings a lump to my throat - truly beautiful. thanks for sharing. What a lovely place!
ReplyDeleteIt is rather moving isn't it Jayne?
DeleteThey were my life and my job for over 30 years. Love horses. Diane
