The Bones of A Horse

Gary's Work

Today’s post is a horse poem sent to me by Gary Minshall, I loved it and asked him to share one of his images to go along with it.

Look back at our struggle for freedom
Trace our present day’s strength to it’s source
And you’ll find that man’s pathway to glory
Is strewn with the bones of a horse

    You never cease to amaze me with you wisdom and understanding of God’s creations. I think your love of horses began with that ornery shetland “Billy”! Keep the camera clicking! Great job.

    Your insight shows your love for horses and we would not be here without the beautiful creatures in our past history. Anyone who has a relationship with a horse knows the depth of love I am talking about. Keep up the good work, it will make you famous.

      I want to thank Sandra for asking Gary Minshall to compliment this amazing poem with one of his exquisite photographs.
      Gary has an intuitive empathy for the depth people respond to horses–all of us, on some level.
      Horses evoke deep cellular memories in us–yearning, excitement, challenge, and triumph; comfort, comradery, faith, and fealty.
      This poem, and Gary’s poignant photograph coalesce into art.
      Thank you both for sharing this wonderful gift.

      P.S. Have posters made. They would go out faster than they could be printed!
      Jasmine
