My Favorite Horse Quotes

Like many equestrians, I love a great quote about horses. I collect them, I think about them and I often repeat them in conversations with other horse loving people who can appreciate the sentiment. Here are some of my favorites to date. I’ll add more as I come across them!

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.

~Ronald Duncan, “The Horse,” 1954

Horses — if God made any creature more beautiful, He kept it for himself.

~Author unknown
