Poem: Equine Eagles

What started as a wishful prayer turned into reality.
Now thanks to God,
a place of miracles does exist on earth.
Each challenge is a test that needs to be conquered,
None of these challenges is too great that it can't be overcome
with trust and true genuine love,
which flows freely without hesitation
for anyone who will allow themselves to be caught up in it's embrace.

No one is expected to do anything but their best.
A place where God has given the horse
his strength to aid us in this journey,
clothed his neck with a flowing mane,
and can also make the eagle soar on His command.

Blessed are the ones who devote their time and talents
to this amazing cause.
Blessed is this place.
Blessed is Equine Eagles.
