Golden Rule of Horsemanship

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.
