Thank You Horse

I wanted to write this letter to the amazing horses around the world.

Dear Horse,

        I want to thank you for all that you've done. Ever since I was a child (sometimes I still am!) I have been passionate about you. There have been so many times in life where I would have been lost if I didn't have you to turn to. Especially at the beginning of this year when I lost my beloved fur child you were one of the only things that held me together in that desperate time. Truly, if you weren't there I don't know what would have come of me. Thank you horse. 

        I would also like to thank you for keeping me out of trouble and growing me into someone I never knew I could become, strong, confident, and independent. Thinking about life without horses almost seems impossible to me, you've engraved your seal into my heart, forever. Thank you horse.  

        Thank you for all the times you've let me sit upon your sleek back, ride through the countryside teaching me to enjoy what I have around myself. Thank you for bucking me off and teaching me to always stand back up again. Thank you for taking off with me and telling me not to be afraid. Thank you for rearing and teaching me to hold on to my life. Thank you for all your soft kisses and hugs to keep my heart warm. Thank you for becoming lame (ehh, not really) so it would make me responsible and caring. Thank you for being expensive so I know not to spend all my money at once. Thank you for making horse people difficult so I can stay true to myself. And thank you for being the most beautiful, intelligent, and graceful animal to ever walk the planet. Thank you horse.
