The Horse Is Not Here

The horse is not here poem by Joanne Verikios
The Horse is not here
to reward your ego
to compete with you
to punish you
to control you
The Horse responds to
who you are
how you feel
what you think
what you do
The Horse is here
to enable you to learn
how to be a better You
- and that is a blessing.



Author's note:

Almost but not quite a poem and almost but not quite a prayer, these verses came to me one day in 2017 and I wrote them down. They were first published on Facebook, then on my Winning Horsemanship blog. Sometimes people think because they "own" a horse, the horse is supposed to be an ornament or an ego booster. When things don't go the way they want, they see the horse as doing it on purpose. Not so. The horse is a gift, a blessing, one of the best pathways to personal development I know for those who recognise it as their super power.

    I enjoy creating things. I also enjoy repairing, restoring, improving things - solving problems as I go. I love to read and I love to write.
