Horse and Rider, We Are One
Published by GHC • Mar 15th, 2009 • Category: Gift Horseby Peanut, age 8
He has helped me overcome times of fear and sadness. He lights up even the darkest paths in life. He is my shoulder to cry on, my best friend, and a trustworthy mount. He listens and understands my problems. He knows how I feel. He is my one safe place. Carrying me on his broad back over fields fresh and green. My bond with him is unexplainable. No word could sum it up. No matter what, I know he is strong. If something happens to one of us, we overcome the problem together. Forever I will stay, by his warm side. In my heart he has everlasting life. We are in this together, I tell him. I try to replicate his kind acts, but my results could never match his. He has never let me down nor been mean to me. He listens and shows interest in our conversations. When I see him, my heart warms up, it beats in my chest, I breath in the calming scent of horse perspiration. I feel happy. When I ride, there is a feeling of accomplishment. Happiness overcomes my fear of falling. Then a miracle occurs. I am mounted on a flight animal much bigger than me. The great horse listens to the slightest cues. Horse and rider, we are one

Awesome! Peanut, I continue to repeat myself!! You are such a good writer!! I’m five years older than you, and you write way, way, way, WAY better than me! Keep it up!
That was beautiful! It was kind of like poetry, but not exactly. What is it called? Poetic prose? Anyway, I wish I had a horse to bond with with like you do! Amazing blog/poem, Peanut!
The way you put it, Peanut, was beautiful! You are a great writer for your age.
