Golden Rule of Horsemanship
By Anonomyous
An Animal Rights Poem from All-Creatures.org

All of God's creatures have rights, a fact that most people don't seem to recognize. This includes both human and non-human animals, but not all of them can speak for themselves.

Golden Rule of Horsemanship
By Anonomyous

Here is a golden rule, a horseman should live up to; 

The priceless knowledge in horsemanship. 

Remember each time you approach a horse, 

A man of kindness to his horse is kind, 

A brutal action is a brutal mind.
 
Think, the Lord made thee, made the brute. 

He who gave thee speech and reason, formed him also mute, 

He can't complain;
 
But our good God has all-seeing eyes, 

So behold thy cruelty. 

He hears the cries of the mute. 

He was created thy servant, not thy drudge. 

Remember, his creator is thy Judge.
