THE GENTLE SOUL by Sally Omar
A Gentle Soul
Always wants to please
Happy you love him
Wants to run in the breeze
Happy to see you
Coming to ride
He comes running
To your side
Ride him with a saddle
Or bareback
He will gallop
And keep on track
If you want him to go faster
You just have to say
Hurry up Buddy
And he’ll be on his way
He lets you hug him
And loves a treat
Always ready
And always so sweet
He’s a beautiful horse
He stands so proud
To him you can whisper
No reason to be loud
His heart lets you know
You never have to be told
He’ll always love you

I saw the t-shirt with Gentle on it, Dawn. Now I’ve found the image – simply stunning. Thank you for sharing your method – it’s so soft and gentle. A beautiful and honourable way to treat such a majestic animal.
Dawnsky2
thank you so much rightasrain, this is one of my favs, the original is most different, and Montys main, fell to the other side so we wouldn’t see it,, so i ‘combed’ it round to this side instead, hehe, thanks so much for your lovely comments :)
