They grazed as I sang them songs: Happy Trails, Me and You, Imagine, You've Got A Friend, I'll Be There, Beth, and more. I sang Roy Rogers, John Lennon, Beatles, The Turtles, James Taylor, Jackson Five, John Denver and multiple other artists. I moved closer.
They relaxed with the cocked hips and even some lip licking but they never completely relaxed. They were still on alert. I moved closer slowly and sat much like Robert Redford did in the movie "The Horse Whisperer". They came closer.

I wonder how many folks these days know the rest of that saying?
Thanks, Gorges.
For those who don't know the full quote...If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
they're beautiful. glad they came to visit you but hope they find home safely.
I love them too, but have never owned one. I usually find them to be loving and friendly. I hope they find their way home!!

They are such wonderful creatures and your photo's are a joy to look at - thank you for sharing this special moment.
All the best Jan
These pics are beautiful and horses are such spirited creatures. They seem to soothe our weary souls. So nice for them to come for a visit and I too hope they find their way home unless that is the place that spooked them.
Did they ever come close enough for you to secure them? Or did the owner finally show up?
Really nice shots. They gave you plenty of opportunities.
I will always feel that way about horses too, Gail. It was perhaps a sign!...:)JP
Gorgeous critters. What fun to take the time to sing, enjoy the sunshine, and ,ale friends. You'll have to let us know the rest of the story when you know it!
You must have a way with horses!
They must sense the good soul in you. They are so beautiful. I love horses. We take drives on country roads and always pull over so I can chat with the horses - and photograph them!
I love that quote. And I love the photos. Horses are amazing creatures.
Hello, ow wow what beautiful visitors you have. They are gorgeous horses. I hope they know their way home safely.
Happy Monday, enjoy your week ahead!
What wonderful therapy for these guests of yours. They might not want to leave. I would have liked to hear you singing those tunes. The horses probably thought they had stumbled into a paradise. and their owners needn't worry while they are with you. Just a thought - have you got wild horses in your valley....have you ever seen any? My brother is 1/3 through his radiation treatments and doing very well. He will Finish treatments first week in January. I haven't been on computer much. So happy to hear all is well at your home. Pass Hugz and best wishes on to all, and big H to M. lol
Gail, I can picture you sneaking up closer to them while singing....where did you find all those songs in your mind? They are lovely.
What a magickal moment for you and the horses. I know how much you love equines and this was a gift to you. So happy for you darling girl. xoxo Linda
they are really beautiful horses and well cared for, i know someone mst be crazy trying to find them. the one still has the halter on and is my favorite... must be looking for free range grass...
Aww what a great adventure. I'm still not sure, even though you've explained it to me, why you do not have at least one horse.
One
Would
Do.
I wonder where they came from? It must be nice to have such beautiful visitors.

I can soo see you siting there serenading these two beauties ! Fantastic post and photos . Hope you can find their home all is good ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
I love this beautiful, poetic, and heartfelt post. The only horse I ever had a relationship with was fenced in a corral by my bus stop when I was 10. I called him Charlie McDoogle. He was neglected, except for feed. I used to sing to him and talk to him. He grew to recognize and trust me. ❤
Really lovely photos!
(P.S. - you commented on the haibun in my blog that it was a 'beautiful memory.' Sigh.
The main character was a little boy. No memory. Just fiction. )
Horses are among the best of God's animal creations. You brought them some fine moments. Great photos.
Beautiful. Did they stick around?
Good that they came where someone would know what to do. Did anyone come looking? Did you figure out what happened?
Blessings, Gail. ♥
What a fun afternoon for you! Almost magical:)
Oh my Gail . . .
how beautiful . . .
I loved knowing the horses were in YOUR fields . . .
And you sang songs and they stayed . . .
Listening, watching . . .
What a MOMENT!
Oh how pretty- I wonder how they ended up loose and on the run. I hope the owners come looking for them. You have the horse whisperer's tricks down solid. :)
I am glad you are a horse singer/whisperer. I always have enjoyed that. I am glad you had some to sit and watch. To this day, nothing makes me happier than to smell a horse.
Have a lovely day.
how wonderful!!!!
and thank you for linking in to my Monday WRites
much love...
Now that my dear is living in the moment. And one you'll not soon forget.
Nothing like a nice surprise to make your day :-)
Gorgeous horses, did the owner come looking?
I was discussing "The Horse Whisperer" with a friend only a couple of days ago. It's one of my favourite books and movies...I have both here. There's something about the story that really resonates with me. I love it...for me it's very emotional and it always makes me cry.
Those horses are beautiful. Stunning creatures are horses!
