Sally,
There is nothing more powerful than a writer who can create word pictures with palpable emotion. This is such a piece. I loved this my friend. Good luck with the contest and I am not horsing around with this review!

    Dear Sammie, thank you so much for the lovely review and generous stars. I'm delighted you enjoyed this. This is not me but a close resemblance as a child. I couldn't believe I came upon a photo so appropriate for my poem. Sending you my best today as always and blessings for the day,
    Sal XOs....

What an adorable picture with a heartfelt sentiment in your one line contest entry, Sally. Your few words speak volumes about the bond between the young girl and her horse. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

A charming presentation from picture to poem and on to the wonderful video. I love to paint horses, so this was a special treat. Do you ride? I used to -- looked good on a horse, but was never very skillful.

Aw, a sweet picture and words that take me back to all those times growing up when my daughter was jumping and competing. Thanks for sharing another attention getter.

Sally,

Such a sweet poem and photograph for your contest entry. Both the little equestrian and her horse are in sync with their feelings for each other.

Your lovely, touching ekphrastic one-liner showcases both the lovely little girl and the gentle horse. It also expresses a message of hope; the very young have dreams for the future!

Clever one Sally! Makes absolute sense with good use of metaphor, 'grow into you'. A common term, often used. I remember my mum always got clothing a size up, saying you'll grow into it LOL. A lovely picture. I think this is a strong contender. Good Luck - Dorothy xxx

Yes, good one. Good memories. I had my daughter on her first horse when she was nine and making all the events. She has nice place in the country with several.
Thanks for the memories.
You have my vote.
