The Horse
The horse is a woman's best friend.
The horse will run the distance to the horizon's end.
They have been with us since the human civilization.
Theur help of humans have made us a new revolution.
Their manes and forelocks make them look like a goddess.
Their ebony eyes, though dark as the night camouflouge themselves as they blend with the stars under the sillhouette moonlight.
With their legs they transported us,
with their bodies they worked for us,
with their fiery spirit they gave us courage throughout battles.
And with their strong personalities they softened our hearts.
