Famous quotes containing the word horse:
“The horse is taught his manage, and no star
Of wildest course but treads back his own steps;”

In a slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Half asleep as they stalk.”

“If this bureau had a prayer for use around horse parks, it would go something like this: Lead us not among bleeding-hearts to whom horses are cute or sweet or adorable, and deliver us from horse-lovers. Amen.... With that established, let’s talk about the death of Seabiscuit the other night. It isn’t mawkish to say, there was a racehorse, a horse that gave race fans as much pleasure as any that ever lived and one that will be remembered as long and as warmly.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
