Equus Ferus Caballus

I am Equus Ferus Caballus.

A mammal, like you.

I have taken many forms.

Many shapes, many colors, many sizes.

But in all of those forms I am beauty.

I am grace.

I am the wind.

Fast and smooth.

Like the wind,

I rage.

I am a tornado

I do not yield.

Until I was approached by you.

You strange two-legger.

You brought food.

And also restraints.

But I bear them

For the companionship

And the snacks.

We are symbiotic.

You feed me

And keep the rain off my back.

I toil for you,

And carry you.

I trust you with my children

Future workers.

And I teach yours.

Future riders.

When your hands are steady,

Your grip is soft,

We can conquer empires.

Horse and human together.
