“These old hands have toiled and labored
Worked their fingers to the bone.
These old hands have held more beauty
than most have ever known.
These old hands have met many friends
and shared both smiles and tears.
These old hands have held more happiness
than most through the years.
These old hands have made a living
Working hard most everyday’
These old hands have held more dreams
that most could ever say”

“Take your reins like a flower”
“Take your reins like a flower, not like a stone. Take your horse by your waist and by your seat, not by your hand and never by force. If you do it by force, it is not the art of riding, it is something else.” ~ Nuno Oliveira
