Natural
To the 'normals'
the traditionals
the 'stuck-in-the-good-ol'-days'
did you know that in the real good old days
Native Americans rode bareback, in halter and few strings
no saddles, no big bits, no fancy tie-downs
Real cowboys cared for their horses, never hurt them
because they knew they relied on them to earn a living
Arabs slept with their horses in their tents
trusting their children to lay by their feet
What has happened to you?
What have you become?
Has your love for these magnificent creatures,
the horse,
been overshadowed by your predatorial pursuit
for domination,
for control,
To those in the leather boots
the ones in the Stetsons and spurs
the ones in jodhpurs and crops
Why do you fight
determined to stain
Natural Horsemanship
why are you so determined
to stay in your ways when
Natural Horsemanship
shows only positive results
Have you never dreamed of flying,
of riding without reins,
to gallop through open fields
and jump fearlessly
Have you never dreamed of friendship
and partnership with your horse?
No beatings, no blood, no pain, no fear.
Natural Horsemanship
All love, all language, all leadership
The relationship, the partnership
Why fight it?
Natural horsemanship is the way forward
