Give me strength to guide my horse.
Make my hands soft and my head clear.
Let my horse understand me, and I her.

So begins “A Rider’s Prayer,” a piece of writing whose original author is unknown, but with a message that will resonate with anyone who has ever wanted to form a meaningful partnership with a horse.

Today’s featured video sets A Rider’s Prayer as a voiceover to a snowy scene showcasing a rider and her horse. The simple yet profound words and the quiet setting make this video worth a rewatch.

  1. What’s not to love about this video. And yes, worth the second watch. The impeccable hair coat, the rump rug for cold weather riding to keep his muscles warm! The grooming, the laundry basket of hay. I loving horsey mom and a beautiful riding partner (Horse).
