A shadow rides beside my life The equine connection Forged as an Australian child With every hello and goodbye. Photos hold stories of us all Some so strong I smell them Some whispering memories That pound in my heart and pull. Horses locate me in time, space Focusing history, hopes Weaving together then to now Horses, people and place. In the other hemisphere, older Like a homing device Horses guide, comfort and challenge Oregon to Arizona. A horse might look like one from before But every love is unique. The things we do might echo the past But each brings a gift of more. My shadow rides on th' edge of sight Carried by sureness of foot When and how the journey is made Horse dreams lead me to the light.
Horse Tales is made up of 6 short stories beginning with the perspective of horses, followed by real-life snapshots of their relationships with a 90-yearold woman to a baby meeting her first horse, reminds us that other beings in our lives provide comfort, illuminate ourselves and connect us to the world in which we live.
