Every Tuesday, step by step, I’m walking with my readers from A to Z, last week we had the “GGG”-challenge, so this week we’ll take “H” – I’m sure you’ll also find a a photo, a story or a music title tagged with “H”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “H”!!! Myself I’ll visualize the subject “History Of Horses”:
HISTORY OF HORSES
When the horses were allowed to live without mankind, it was good for them. But then a long history of wars and transport oppressed them. I will never forget the long row of blind coal mine horses 1945 in Germany marching to the butcher. Perhaps now the horses at least in Mongolia have a good life.

It really is sad how horses have been abused by humans in the past. I would like to think hat they are treated better these days.

A wonderful song. And an interesting thought about horses. As a Bronx boy I don’t know much about horses, but I admire their beauty and grace, especially when wild as you say. For my H contribution I attached a poem I wrote for Victor Hugo, le grand homme.

dear Ruth,
you’ve written a heart touching tribute to your teachers! And you inspired me to mention at least one name for a first step (there could be many others): Dr. Elmar Bozetti. He opened the door for me into the world of blues and gospel music – and he made me write my first essays about philosophers (you bought my book, thanks!)
