About Me

My photo
Well to start off in case it wasn't obvious, I LOVE HORSES! I have been riding for about three, coming on four years now. I was one of the top riders in my riding school when it came to riding western. So I know a thing or two about western riding. If I was asked what types of horses are my favorites, defiantly Quarter Horses. I am also a sucker for American Paints, Appaloosas, Buckskins and lots more. I really don't have a least favorite type though. My current horse is a 4 year old American Paint named Daisy. She is my first horse I ever really trained from the ground up. She is a halter baby and an ex western pleasure horse that also knows a few reining tricks, even though she doesn’t neck rein. I also have a wonderful dog named Gretchen. I also have a HUGE wonderful family. My mom has seven brothers and a sister, so you do the math. Really I am just your typical American girl, so if you really want to know more just ask.

Why I love my horse.

Today I was thinking about my American Paint Daisy. I then got to thinking about how much she means to me. Thats when I got the idea for this poem. So here it is folks: Why I Love My Horse.

Why I love my horse
Your coat is soft and beautiful
Like a cotton shirt on a summer day.
Even though that’s what I say
That’s not why I love you.
You do all I ask of you without a second thought.
As much as you don’t like it
I appreciate it a lot.
But that’s not why I love you.
You love me unconditionally.
No matter what I do.
I can tell you what I want to say or do
And you won’t tell a soul.
You looked at me with those auburn eyes
And that’s when I knew to my surprise
That something so wild deep inside
Can be so sweet in good time.
You’ve taught me to love.
You’ve taught me to hate.
But all in all I cannot wait.
For this love for you burns so true
And this is why I love you.

    I like it poem so much. I wish i could write poems off the top of my head and make it sound cool. Your horse seems beautiful even though you didn't describe what it looks like i just had a picture is my mind. I like this piece a lot good job.

    That is exactly how i feel about the horses that used to be at my grandparents farm. They used to have so many until they decided to move and had to sell them all. The stupid thing is that they didn't have to sell them because they haven't sold the house yet. I miss my horse.....

    Your poem is really good. I like how some lines you have rhyming words and in others you do not, and yet it still flows really nicely. It also makes me think of my Uncle's horse Smarty. He was so big yet gentle and calm.
