Block User A Rider's Prayer
Dearest Creator in Heaven,
Give me strength to guide my horse.
Make my hands soft and my head clear.
Let my horse understand me and I him.
My heart you have blessed with a special love of these animals.
Let me never lose sight of it.
My soul you have gifted with a deep need for them.
Let that need never lessen.
Always let my breath catch as the sun gleams on an elegant head.
Always may my throat tighten at the sound of a gentle nicker.
Let the scent of fresh hay and a new bag of grain be sweet to me.
Let the touch of a warm nose on my hand always bring a smile.
I adore the joy of a warm day on the farm.
The grace and splendor of a running horse,
The thunder of its hooves makes my eyes burn and my heart soar.
Let it always be so.
Dearest Creator grant me patience,
For horses are harnessed wind, and wind can be flighty.
Let me not frighten or harm them.
Instead show me ways to understand them.
Above all, dear Creator, fill my life with them.
When I pass from this world,
Send my soul to no heaven without them.
For this love you have given me graces my existence
And I shall cherish it and praise You for it for all time.

I had two similar accidents happen. One was my gelding named Shadow. The best we can guess is he put a tree branch through his neck. After a couple hundred stitches later (which didn't hold of course), I finally ended up packing it twice a day with Corona cream. It worked really well. You can't even see a scare but there are two indentations were the tree branch went through. The next really bad one happened about a year ago. My gelding Leroy laid down next to some panels and got both back legs stuck. He sea sawed them back and forth until there was nothing for the vet to sew up. It was winter in Idaho so I didn't have to deal with bugs which was a God sent! I used the Corona cream and wrapped his legs twice a day for a month. Surprisingly, he is completely sound even though he has so bad scars. Because of my accidents and the ending results, my vet back home now tells people to use Corona. If you haven't tried it, give it a whirl. It really helps with the scarring. Good luck! I am looking forward to more picture to see his healing process.
