You know I like cats and dogs, birds – and HORSES! I like to make my empathy more sensible, so I could feel maybe like they feel…
I took this photo in my neighbourhood – oh I wouldn’t like to stand side by side with my neighbor – and he has a warm coat and me – not! I nearly could not imagine how the horses would feel, as I discovered a picture in the Guardian: www.guardian.co.uk – the observer – gallery: “In Surabaya, Indonesia, horses are hoisted into the air by a crane as they are being transferred from a cargo ship onto a truck…” [www.guardian.co.uk / the observer / gallery]

Horse with no name
“Horse with no name” was performed by the group “America”, a hit in 1971

I’ve been on horse-backs only a few times,
in the woods and on the fields of my neighborhood –
but it was like flying!

Those poor horses being craned must have been terrified and they look undernourished!

hi Gilly,
I often feel like the craned horses, when I enter an airport with my wife. I do not like to leave my home: HOME = feelings protected by books, photos, interior, walls; on the road I feel robbed, naked, kidnapped …

Indonesia needs to change laws. Here they are lifting cows http://www.occupyforanimals.org/indonesia—cattle-being-lifted-by-a-crane-from-ropes-tied-to-their-heads.html Both the cattle and horses were for meat market. Makes you wonder how they were killed.

Frizz, I recommend you the movie “The Horse Whisperer”, with Robert Redford. It is one of my favorite movies. Have you seen it?

Every child should learn to ride a horse – it gives you a different perspective on the world and yourself! Thanks for the trackback.

our daughters learned to ride horses – and as we watched their happiness, we tried to follow their passion for a while – now we are old – and some memories make us smile; for example, once, a lightning from a thunderstorm outside disturbed our riding lesson inside of a hall. Both, me and my wife, fell down from the horse-backs. The other 12 riders of the group remained sitting in their saddles…

Great picture. I cannot imagine being hoisted by a crane. How SCARY even if you could understand what was going on around you (which they obviously cannot!). And I agree, if I was the white horse, I would probably kick my friend for not sharing their coat. I am not a nice person when I get hungry, tired or cold!

A horse is also one of my favorite animals. I enjoy when I have the opportunity to be near them.

I clicked on this one because of its title.
I find horses majestic and beautiful. Yet, I fear them! The thought of them going on their hind legs and trying to trample me remains to great a fear in my mind.
I went horse riding ONCE and it went into a canter and I was petrified. And I got off, and still thought it was mighty beautiful.
Like this one, Frizztext.
