“Blessed Are The Husbands”
Blessed are the husbands of horse women
Who have no interest in horses
But love our passions because they love us.
Blessed are the husbands
Who stack hay with not a cross word
And offer to pull the trailer
To God knows where
And stay all day
To watch our us do what we love.
Blessed are the husbands
Who have the patience to listen
To our every conversation
About bits and bad ground
And teeth floats and good farriers.
Blessed are the husbands
Who don’t complain about the money
Because soon it will become
feed and entry fees and vet bills.
Blessed are the husbands
Who have the kindness
To sit in the stall with us overnight
On foal watch, or colic,
Or to investigate a strange sound.
Blessed are the husbands
Who possess the wisdom
To let us chase our dreams
And leave the sink full of dishes
And know how we lie
“Just an hour at the barn”
