American Saddlebred Horse
Well, fine time for a ride! Don’t they know that I have feelings too? Don’t
they ever
think that I may not want to ride, or let them on my saddle? No good !
Andalusian
Merry are we. Happy and gay. Don’t get in our way.
Appaloosa
Haughty; some may say.
Gentle: indeed t'is true.
Stocky; well this is not us.
Finer; indeed is true.
Arabian
Oh
how I do wish they would treat me well.. I do; I
wish that they would treat me as they treat all
others. Why do they continue to treat me so
differently?
(Is it because we look different, that we are
treated differently? Does it matter whether or not
we have ‘so called’ breeding? Does it? What makes it
necessary to treat everyone so differently just
because they look different. This has caused so much
heartache, so much pain. Doesn’t the world realise
that the ‘outer’ shell is just that. It is just an
outer shell. Inside we are the same. Inside we
suffer the same. Inside we doubt the same. Inside we
are made of jelly when we attempt something for the
first time. Inside we make decisions that may not be
for the highest good. Inside we are made of the same
gooey substances. Why oh why then do we treat
everyone according to the ‘outside’? Why? I’ll tell
you why. In today’s faced paced world where image is
the current vogue, what really matters is lost to
most. Indeed; it is lost. And what really matters?
I’ll tell you what really matters. YOU, my friend.
You matter. And what are YOU? You are your ‘inside’.
That is right. You are your inside where all your
thoughts dwell; where all your dreams abide; where
all your misgivings hide; where all and sundry meet
in opposition; yes, that’s right; even your
opposition resides inside. Do you think that this is
not true? Do you really? Well let me tell you that
you are indeed two. There’s the ‘you’ that we see;
and there’s the real you. Yes, I thought you’d stop
to see. There’s the ‘you’ that we see, and then
there’s the real you. And, which one would you like
for us to recognise? The one that we see; or the one
that you hide?
Yes my friends, food for thought indeed. And this is
what the beautiful Arabian Horse is reflecting for
us.)

Clydesdale
(Draught Horse)
Gentler are we. Finer and gentler. We may have a large girth, but
look at our birth. Finer specimens not to be seen.
Donkey
Monkey see. Monkey do. Beat me till I’m black and
blue.
My hide is tough. My head is too.
I’m not ashamed of this. Are you?

Hi! Pleasant day! Working hard? No! Why not?
English
Thoroughbred
(Thoroughbred)
Fine thing
this is!
What; you’re going too? Wait, you’ve got a nerve, to tell me what to do.
Don’t use that face with me, my friend; I’ll have your know it’s true;
the best of British luck is all I have to bring to you.
I’ll
duck, I’ll weave, I’ll carry on;
with luck to get me through.
Horses (General)
Horses,
those grand and elegant creatures
meant for bringing excellence into the hearts
of men.
Horses were and are man’s good friends. They have served man well. Have
they not? Moreover, their behaviour is not foreign to man. No, dear ones, the
horse has mimicked man ad infinitum, and this beauty, this might, is being usurped
by the car and other such machinery. Is it not? Man has it in his power to allow
or disallow many things. One is to 'hold on high',
or to 'make rubbish', and
this is what we see with the beauteous qualities of the horse. He is mostly
forgotten, mostly forgotten.
We say to man, remember
your friends, do not forsake them.
Truth is truth is truth is truth. Numbers are
dwindling of those who care for the horse kingdom. This brings great sadness to
bear upon the kingdom, which has enabled man to
survive in quarters where otherwise he would have perished; there
be no doubt.
Read on dear ones, and
remember the love, the grandiosity of ‘the horse family’.
(We are very fond of saying
‘what grand creatures’ when we
look at the very beautifully
designed horse.
However, many lay forsaken in
fields and groves lamenting time
past. Are we to share a common
goal of excitement and adventure
or are we going to allow
‘progress’ to usurp our
‘connection’ with the horse
kingdom? Not for some! Some
remember and admire and allow
the qualities of the horse
kingdom to be held on high.
Others are not so caring and
shame is brought upon them by
the cruelty they exert upon our
once needed friend.
And so it is that when we are
attracted to the horse kingdom
we are being asked to remember
the finer things in life:
Friendship; community; love;
generosity; comradery;
happiness; the list is subject
to each individual’s inner most
needs. Yes, my friends, the
horse kingdom has much to offer
by way of friendship; kinship
and a common love for life.)

Fine
mess you’ve made. Why did you do that?
Holsteiner
Merry are we hee-hee, hee-hee.
Don’t like the look of the weather; guess it’s the park for me.
Mustang
In greater numbers are we. Times were that we were the best; man changes
fads as he changes his shirt!
Palomino
Gay; that’s us. Great; hmmmmmm…well….. We are not shy, we seldom fly. We are not birds
or have wings. And yet for those who know our gait,
we make the perfect mate.

Hello!
Fine day!
Quarter
Horse
Strong;
this is so. Poised; indeed ‘tis true.
(May I introduce myself; I am Quarter Horse. That is
correct. My name is Quarter Horse. I live in many
countries around the world and grace the fields of
many countries. Therefore, I am known as Quarter
Horse. Why? Why am I known as Quarter Horse? I am
glad that you have asked. My name originated some
time ago. It was thought that certain
characteristics were better for this and for that.
For this reason I was ‘manipulated’, by man, to
appear a certain way. This is so. Man does this. He
‘manipulates’ all things to suit this purpose or
that purpose. Does he not? Indeed he does. I am the
product, therefore, of man’s manipulation. I have
been contrived. This I have. Am I concerned about
this manipulation? Yes and no. Yes because I was not
‘asked’. And no, because c’est la vie; I am what I
am.
Do we not see this in man himself? He has contrived
to be one thing and yet he is another. We are
symbolic of man’s attempts to ‘become’ something.
Is this good or is this not good?
It depends upon the manner in which it is brought
about. If man’s manipulations bring about ‘truth’
than one would think that this is a good thing. If,
on the other hand, man’s manipulations bring about
something which is not truth, then this would have
to be considered not a good thing.
Who determines that which is good and that which is
not good?
Man. Man considers his actions either good or not
good.
Who then, holds the reins (no pun intended) on the
‘standard’ of good or not good?
Man. Do you get my drift? Who is there to moderate;
to bring cohesion; to assess?
That’s right. There is only man. Man determines
whether his actions are good or not good.
Who is then to say what is good and what is not
good. Correct; only man.
In ‘our’ eyes we simply ‘are’. We are a manipulation
of man’s quest to bring about a conclusion to which
they have strived.
What do ‘we’ think of man’s manipulations? Thank you
for asking….. We are in agreement with man’s
assertions that to create a body of certain
configurations in order to acquire a particular
dimension is ….. Does it really matter what we
think? Would our opinion ‘matter’? Man is going to
continue to ‘change’, manipulate; create; destroy;
decry; all things add infinitum. It matters little
what we think. We are here solely for the purpose of
adding to man’s diversity of experience. It matters
little.
On the other hand; our communication; our
involvement; our careers have been 'somewhat’
enhanced by the manipulation of our beings. This is
true. However, as with all of man’s manipulations we
are subject to a particular criterion that, once met
is similarly altered to suit another whim. This may
prove to be distressing for some; however, you asked
and we have given.
Well my dear friends; this has been quite a journey
for me. I am understanding that the Quarter horse
represents man’s attempts to create as ‘he’ deems
satisfactory. It must be left up to each one to
determine the outcome as to whether this is good or
not so good.)

Shetland
Pony
I’ll have you know we can fly; even
backwards if need be, hee-hee.
Standardbred
Most would say that we’re not gay, but proud and cocky too. I’m not sure; it’s
out the door to those who say we’re through.
For up we’ll stand, our shoulders high, and tell all that we can do. We’re good,
we’re proud; we’re full of spirit.
And we’ll be our best for you.
Tennessee Walker
We do it best.
What, you ask, do we do best?
Everything, that's right, everything.
Zebra
High
spirited, yeah!
