A Horse's Prayer

Feed me, water and care for me, and when the day's work is done, provide me with a shelter, a clean dry stall large enough for me to lie down in comfort. Talk to me, your voice often means as much to me as the reins. Pet me sometimes that I may serve you more gladly and learn to love you. Shoe me properly that I may serve you in comfort. Never strike, beat or kick me when I don't understand what you want, but give me the chance to understand you. And finally oh master, when my youthful strength is gone do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some cruel owner to be slowly tortured or stoned to death, but do thou, my master take my life in the kindest way, and your God will reward you here and hereafter. You will not consider me irreverent if I ask this in the name of Him who was born in a stable... -Amen

This is such a beautiful prayer, whoever wrote this must have really known how a horse thinks.

Horse addict - thanks so much for sharing that prayer with all of us. It reminds me of BLack Beauty when poor old Ginger was being beaten in the street to keep pulling the cart and sounds almost like Black Beauty wrote those words from personal experience - probably a bit corny I know. I so often see old horses being advertised for sale and wonder why they are not being retired at home by the person who currently has them ensuring they have a good end to their life. I kept my old horse till his passing at 30 years and could not have ever parted with him not knowing how he would be cared for in his twilight years. He had been my stallion on my stud although later gelded when the stud dispersed, was a champion under saddle and in hand but most importantly my constant companion and best friend. How could one who gave so much be deserted in old age !!!! Cheers Jan

Hi Jan, yes, I agree it really sounds like an old Black Beauty book I had read in high school.

Hi Horse addict - So glad you agree - I thought you might think I was crazy lol. The movie Black Beauty really tugs at the heartstrings of any horse lover - don't know if you have seen it but worth watching - just keep the tissues handy. Cheers Jan
