Sounds like thunder

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,
friendship without envy, or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle and strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
Ronald Duncan

Every morning I wake up to a magical sound and a flutter in my heart...
For the past week, I have been woken to the wonderful, exciting and extraordinary sound of horses hooves, and this morning, I decided to try and catch it as they literally canter past the foot of my bed......

Close to where I live there are Polo ponies, and every morning they are taken out...en mass for their exercising.
There are actually 8 of them altogether, but I only managed to snap 5 as the other 3 were slightly behind( with 1 rider)...Maybe i'll try and capture it again in a few days, but for now, this has contented me enough...
So, this picture is mental, the girls must be off their heads... is incredible....2 riders with 5 horses, and one of them has no riding hat on!!!
Sounds a bit like the crazy things I used to do when riding my horse India
I would never do that!!!!...lol..:-)

There really is Nothing on this earth as spectacular, beautiful, emotional or so incredibly humbling as the beast that is the horse, and being around them seems to put me at so much ease.
I don't know what it is, but in the past when I was stressed or bothered, my first port of call was always a drink to go and be with my horse...I don't know why, but its like, all my troubles melt away, and everything makes sense.....this has never changed, and I find myself almost like a homing pigeon, always finding my way back to one.
These creatures are so beautiful, , they are like my staple diet, my addiction, my life, and I hope this never changes.

Horses look through your eyes and see your soul. They look right into your heart.
I don't know another animal on earth that can do that.
