Quotations (fra programmet "History of the Horse")
There is something about the outside of a horse
that is good for the inside of a man.
Sir Winston Churchill
No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.
Sir Winston Churchill
...I heard a neigh. Oh, such a brisk and melodious neigh as that was!
My very heart leaped with delight at the sound.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
A thousand horse and none to ride! -
With flowing tail, and flying mane,
Wide nostrils never stretched by pain,
Mouths bloodless to the bit or rein,
And feet that iron never shod,
And flanks unscarred by spur or rod,
A thousand horse, the wild, the free,
Like waves that follow o'er the sea,
Came thickly thundering on,...
Lord Byron, XVII
I bless the hoss from hoof to head -
From head to hoof, and tale to mane! -
I bless the hoss, as I have said,
From head to hoof, and back again!
James Whitcomb Riley
