Equine Leadership
DEEPER BY THE DAY By: Samantha Thorpe, U.S.A.
History of the Horse 5,000 years ago, began a love affair like no other You admired our size, speed, strength, endurance, and intelligence We admired your passion, commitment, creativity, and desire for connection Together, we conquered the world We carried you through the deserts and over the mountains You carried us across the seas We relied on one another for every need Travel & transportation, food & shelter, safety & love A revolution brought about the dawn of new era An industrial era Before long, you no longer needed us To carry you into battle To plow your fields To tow your supplies You stood on your own two feet and you thrived Yet, despite all your progress, you did not dispose of us There was still one thing the machines could not offer A void they could never fill You never forgot our contribution to humanity And we never forgot our connection to you
