Horse Fever

Boshart Stables Hunter Jumper Show,  May 21, 2011

My 11 year old daughter says she has horse fever….and after spending the majority of Saturday with these beautiful creatures, I think I might have caught it. These animals are magnificent and powerful…it was amazing to witness them under the control of the littlest of riders. I couldn’t help but be reminded of the opening in the movie “Secretariat” taken from Job 39:

¹⁹ “Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? ²⁰ Do you make it leap like a locust,  striking terror with its proud snorting?  ²¹ It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,  and charges into the fray.  ²² It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing;  it does not shy away from the sword.  ²³ The quiver rattles against its side,  along with the flashing spear and lance.  ²⁴ In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;  it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.  ²⁵ At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’  It catches the scent of battle from afar,  the shout of commanders and the battle cry.”
