Together we create a whole

Have you ever experienced such a bond with a horse that when you look into those eyes, they reflect YOU.
Not the facade you may display in defense of your innermost secrets when
others are around, but the you that you may have forgotten or left behind in
your childhood innocence.
They reflect the dreams we've lost, the paths we've mistakenly overlooked, and
the refuge in which our hearts can be sheltered without the fear of losing what's
most precious to us through petty gossip or harsh critisism.
Those eyes reflect an understanding that makes you feel hope when the hope of
connection may seem in vain.
By this understanding, they provide us with the strength to conquer, and conquer we do.
Together we create a whole, one providing the brawn, the other the cunning.
The duo is capable of more than either half is alone.
