# # # A Tribute to the Old Horse
You’re not the shiny young horse in the corral anymore.
I’ve watched you change over the years. Your joints get a little stiff when it’s cold, the grey around your eyes has spread, and your back has started to dip in places it never used to. I see the hollows behind your withers and the way time has slowly settled into your body.
Some people might look at you and only see an old horse.
But I see every mile, every lesson, every hard day, every good ride, and every memory we’ve made together.
Because underneath all the grey hair and the sway in your back, you are still you. You still get excited when it’s time to ride. Some days you’re ready to go before I can even get settled in the saddle. And every now and then, when you get the chance to stretch out in an open field, you still remind me that there is plenty of life left in you.
You have always taken care of me, and I hope you know I’ll always take care of you.
People don’t see the places we’ve been, the things we’ve worked through, or how much we have both grown along the way. They don’t understand that little swayback carries some of the best memories of my life.
So I’ll keep you moving, keep you comfortable, and give you the care you deserve through every season.
Because loving an old horse is something special. They teach you patience, loyalty, gratitude, and what it means to love something through every stage of life.
And if everyone got the chance to love an old horse, I think the world would be a little better for it.
