Forever in our hearts
THESE HORSES ARE GONE NOW, BUT THEY HAVE LEFT A LASTING IMPRESSION WITH ALL OF US AT NEW HOPE RANCH.
Calling Up the Horses
A Poem by Carol Malnar
calling up the horses home
with a high shrill song
from far off pastures where they roam
they lift their heads to hear my call
long manes catch the wind
they know I wait with hay and stall
swinging roun d into a lope
they hurry to me
I catch them all without a rope
crowding around me, pushing near
with painted coats
eager noses, there is no fear
I know eac h and every one by name
they know mine
at the barn I am of fame
calling up the horses home
with a high shrill song
form far off pastures where they roam
some have pastures high above
I think of them and send my love
so when I die I pray to theee
my last request Lord
let my lost horses come to me
