A Horse's Prayer
Beloved Master!
PROVIDE me with food and drink and care for me, and,
when the work of the day is done, give me shelter, a clean place to rest,and not to small space in thy stable! Talk to
me, for often thy voice will take the place of he bridle. Be good to me, and I shall serve thee even more gladly and cherish
thee. Tear not on the rein, nor reach for the whip on a rising grade, do not beat me or kick me when I fail to understand
thee, but give me time to grasp thy intentions. Do not judge me to be disobedient if I should be slow to do thy bidding.
And when the end draws near, beloved Master, when I can no longer be
of use to you, I beg thee, do not let me starve and freeze, and do not sell me. Do not abandon me to a strange master who
will slowly torment me to death, but be kind enough, my Lord and Master, to give me a speedy and compassionate death, and
God will reward thee, here and forever. Let me ask this of thee, and do not believe that I lack reverence if I ask this in
the name of Him who was born in a stable...Amen.
