Such beauty

This morning one of my daughter's horses was down and not feeling well. It always scares me when they are laying down, I know they need to sleep and rest but it still scares me, just incase it is something else I always make the poor things get up and move around. This morning the dogs alerted me that the horse was down. It is not a normal sight for them to be laying down, so the dogs were barking. They were standing right by him barking and barking as to say, "get up Comet". I called him and walked over to him, I even rocked him and shook him but he would not get up. Thats when I began to worry. Ny daughter was already at college taking a test. A quick text message to her as to what she wanted me to do. Finally I got him up, he was alittle gasey and didn't want to walk around. As I stood there talking to him and rubbing him and looking into those big beautiful brown eyes, I was just taken back in awe. His beauty, his strength, I would imagine the power he held inside. I saw the love and trust in his eyes. He knew I was trying to help him. I had my, "Until they are safe" bracelet on, it glistened in the sun, and I wondered, how could anyone with a heart or soul harm one of these creatures? It just didn't make sense. Then I thought of all the people that never have had the chance to touch a horse or to gaze into their eyes, and I realized how very lucky we were to have had the opportunity to behold such an awesome creature. All I could think of was, "Comet, you are such a beauty to behold". By the way, he is fine this evening.

Judy, I too become concerned when our horse lays down and he has never coliced. My son tells me some horses do lay down and rest mom. On nice spring days he does lay in the sun and soak up the rays and it still makes me a bit uneasy. There is a saying and I'm not sure who said it, maybe Winston Churchill that there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of man. The horse is such a beauty inside and out.

Nice save Judy. The dogs all worked together to get your attention and you listened. If only the world could work together like that.

I'm sure you know this, but the horse has the biggest eye of any mammel on the planet. What a door to the sould God has given to us with his majestic horses.

If you don't have a mirror you can check your hair and make up.

I'm glad Cometis s fine.
