When training a horse
Here is a secret I have learned
More often than not
The tables are turned
While we go along
Thinking we are teaching
The horse goes along with
what we are preaching
but look a bit deeper
and you see a surprise
The very best teacher
Resides in their eyes
We ask them to give, to lead on a line
They teach us of patience, respect and of time
We get on their backs, as really we must
They show us the ultimate form of trust
We teach about pressure, contact and release
They show us their honesty, and willingness to please
We push them and try them and ask them to give
give us all that and
They teach us to live
Good Morning , stay safe everyone
