This page is dedicated to all the horses and ponies that have passed on to the grassy planes of heaven. 

The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.  ~Arabian Proverb

Ode to Esprit

Dear Esprite, we thank you for allowing little bodies to ride you
And the little hands to learn from you...
You gave of yourself so willingly. 

You never had the best riders or the best equipment
And yet in that knowledge...
You gave of yourself so willingly.
 
You sowed the seed of love between animal and horse
You realized the dreams of children...
And you gave of yourself so willingly.
 
You offered your heart and your body
You offered safety, love and joy...
You gave of yourself so willingly.

You were there for the smallest and the weakest
You were passed from child to child...
And yet, you gave of yourself so willingly.
 
You were a friend to human and horse,
You were admired and respected, because...
You gave of yourself so willingly.

These words are written on behalf of those who, loved you deeply 
And watched with soft smiles... 
As you carried those we loved – so willingly
