"Breathing heavily
Eyes adjust
Heart pounds
Settling dust
Pats neck
Sweat pours
Whispers softly
Need more
Body shifts
Nostrils flare
Start again
Guzzling air
Mouth froths
Hooves pound
Whinny rises
Echoing sound
It’s over
Finally now
Breathe relief
Taking bow
Whispering words
Water trough
Removing bridle
Saddle off
Kiss muzzle
Brushes clean
Pet over
Coat sheens
Hang it
Munching grain
Leather creaking
Shaking mane
World quiets
Life shining
Airing blanket
Cotton lining
Gate open
Pasture call
Follow in
Loving all"
