"Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war."
~Revelation 19:11 ESV~
~Revelation 19:11 ESV~
"Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? Do you make him leap like a locust? His majestic snorting is terrifying. He paws in the valley and exults in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons. He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword. Upon him rattle the quiver, the flashing spear, and the javelin, with fierceness and rage he swallows the ground; he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet. When the trumpet sounds he says "Aha!" He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting."
~Job 39:19-25 ESV~

"A thousand horse and none to ride!
With flowing tail, and flying mane,
Wide nostrils never stretched by pain,
Mouths bloodless to the bit or rein,
And feet that iron never shod,
And flanks unscarred by spur or rod,
A thousand horse, the wild, the free,
Like waves that follow o'er the sea,
Came thickly thundering on..."
~Lord Byron~

Like waves that follow o'er the sea,
Came thickly thundering on..."

"Let us ride together, blowing mane and hair, careless of the weather, miles ahead of care, ring of hoof and snaffle, swing of waist and hip, trotting down the twisted road with the world let slip."

And the swish of a skirt in the dew,
Steadily cantering through the misty solitudes,
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods..."

"Horses can surprise you with their intelligence within moments of being unbelievably stupid, and astonish you with their strength as well as their gentleness. To really understand them is something few people, including me, are able to do,and as such they have provided generations of authors with an ideal subject on which to loose their imaginations."
~John Francome~

"Where in this wide world can man find....
Nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here where grace is laced with muscle,
And strength by gentleness confined.
He serves without servility;
He has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful,
Nothing less violent;
There is nothing so quick,
Nothing more patient.
-The Horse!"
