Tradition, in Time – A tribute to Lipizzaner Stallions Mr. D. was my “second father” in telling stories, At least that was what I always believed to be so; I learned from Mr. Walt about the whitest of horses The most comfortable of stories but in the strangest way. Although I knew it was true, I'm still in awe and amaze.  A general of his time took to his campaign A salvation of those who could not save themselves Those who had been in the lines since Roman times Those who had been curried to give only their best They have always stood up to their tests.  Look at the lines of the proud and the few If not for Patton, they would not be here If not for tradition, they could not step in time If not for their soul, their beauty, their art We would never know what they could impart.  It should be said, and I shall hereby admit The flag, our country, the anthem will emit its Sound, then my tears, in those who would believe In God, and Country, and traditions in time And I was glad, so glad to call this moment, mine. |

this grabbed my attention and then some. Come from a long line of horse trainers, breeders and lovers. I've had the opportunity to see these truly magnificant creatures in person. They possess the grace of a bird in flight. Did you know that upon their birth, they are completely black....then taking up to 10 years for them to turn completely white...the ones that remain black are priceless. Sunshine, thanks for this early morning light this morning....love the pics....but of course...smiles and hugs. |
