Freedom

She settles into the saddle
Loving his strength beneath her

Her friend gives a shudder of anticipation
She leans down to pat him, she feels it too

They move towards the distant hills
She urges him to gather speed

Muscles ripple beneath her as he gathers himself for the run
Her heart quickens in excitement

She bends low over the saddle
They move as one

And lost in their freedom
They fly…

Freedom by

I have only experienced it once, but I have never forgotten the feeling of freedom I experienced while flying over a field on horseback. I hope to find that same experience again someday soon!

This is also available for sale as a wall art.
