Horse
Handler's Prayer
Dearest
God in Heaven, give me the strength to guide
my horse.
Make my hands soft and my head
clear.
Let my horse understand me and I
him.
My heart you have blessed with a
special love of these animals. Let me
never lose sight of it.
My soul you have
gifted with a deep need for them, let that
need never lessen.
Always
let my breath catch as the sun gleams on an
elegant head.
Always may
my throat tighten at the sound of a gentle
knicker.
Let the sent of fresh hay and a new bag of
grain always be sweet to me.
Let the
touch of a warm nose on my hand always bring a
smile.
I adore the joy of a warm day on
the farm. The grace and splendor of a
running horse, the thunder of it’s hooves
makes my eyes burn and my heart soar, let it
always be so.
Dearest God, grant me
patience, for horses are harnessed wind and
wind can be flighty.
Let me not frighten or
harm them.
Above all dear God, fill my
life with them.
When I pass from this
world, send my soul to no heaven without them.
For this love you have given me graces my
existence, and I shall cherish it and praise
you for it all the time.
