I discovered that the horse is life itself, a metaphor but also an example of life’s mystery and unpredictability, of life’s generosity and beauty, a worthy object of repeated and ever changing contemplation. – Jane Smiley
To me, horses resemble strength, grace, freedom, and equally love and intimacy.
When I was in engineering college, in a campus interview for job, the interviewer asked me “what would be the animal you think you would love to relate with and why?” I said – a horse. I can’t remember anymore what were the reasons I cited at that time. But since then my love for horses has intensified.
This one is for strength, beauty, love and intimacy.
