Wild Horses A herd of mustangs haunt the draw Behind our ranch. I never saw A prettier sight beneath the sun, Than watching while wild horses run! Their manes and tails stream out behind. Their power and beauty is the kind That makes your heart beat wild and fast, Imprinting memories to last. The sound of hooves that strike the ground Like thunder, rumbling around And when they wheel, the dust lifts high To drift like smoke, across the sky. Sometimes I hear them in the night, Giving a sudden snort of fright. Or they'll nicker, as though to say They like it here and plan to stay. How I enjoy this glimpse they give Of how the west's wild horses live! Betty Lou Hebert Published in Remuda, 2006 and The Advocate, 2001 |

I love this too. Horses are one of God's most wonderful gifts to the earth. So huge and so benign. You write about them with love and respect. Love, Joyce |

Dear Betty Lou This is a great poem about wild horses and reminds me of an Australian movie called, "The Man From Snowy River". The wild horses in that movie were magnificent. Love Verbena xo |

Dear Verbena: I saw that movie "The Man From Snowy River" and thought it was great! The wild horses we saw around us at the mine in Nevada were really beautiful animals. Thanks for reading! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
