Oh my God, this rips my heart out. "what is goodbye?" The hardest thing about loving animals is when they leave us. Because no being love us better than our creatures do.
Great photos, a poem itself and a little mystery of what story could be behind the story shedding water in our long manes... more enduring than the broken bonds between and our longtime friends sharing beauty.
Oh my I hope you are not really having to say goodbye to your beautiful horses. This really does seem to convey what horses might be thinking. thanks for posting.
Being caregivers of horses is a huge responsibility - and knowing where many end up when they get old, especially, is double worry for those who love them. Sounds to me like you are having to part with them... my heart is heavy for you...

It is interesting how talking to them seems to soothe them.

Awww, lovely pictures. I get so strongly the bond and love between animal and caregiver here, the loss also of freedom but instead love and safety.
Beautiful photos...I so hate goodbyes. Such a touching poem.
Your horses are gorgeous.
Missing them being right there in your life daily, must be so hard . Hugs.

Heartbreaking to read what these beauties have to say. Saying goodbye would be so painful.

Beautiful Gail . . . Written with that 'truth' once again.
The reality is sad . . .
I remember you saying something about "gifting" - is this "goodbye" related to that. My heart feels sad.

so sorry you lost your beloved horses and this is beautiful and so are they.
