:44:05
just to watch their skins...
:44:09
and the way their necks twist.
:44:13
The sweat comes in the fo/ds.
:44:18
Words /ike ''reins''...
:44:20
''stirrups''...
:44:22
''f/anks, '' ''dashing his spurs
against his charger's f/anks''....
:44:25
Even those words made me....
:44:29
The way they give themse/ves to us.
:44:32
That was it, too.
:44:36
They could stamp us into bits
anytime they wanted, and they don't.
:44:40
They just let themselves be turned
on a string all day, absolutely humble.
:44:46
They give us all their strength,
and we just give them stripes.
:44:53
They'll run forever.
:44:56
They'll gallop till they die, they will...
:45:00
if we don't say ''stop.''
:45:04
They live for us...
:45:07
just for us...
:45:09
their whole lives.
:45:14
Years, /'ve never to/d anyone.
:45:18
My mom wou/dn't understand.
She /ikes equitation...
:45:21
bow/er hats, jodhpurs.
:45:23
My unc/e dressed for the horse, she says.
But what does that mean?
:45:28
Horse isn't dressed.
:45:30
lt's naked.
:45:31
lt's the most naked thing you ever saw,
more than a dog, a cat, or anything.
:45:36
Even the brokenest-down old nag
has got its life.
:45:39
To put a bowler hat on top of it's filthy.
:45:42
Putting them through their paces,
bloody horse shows. How do they dare?
:45:47
No one understands. No one.
:45:52
Except cowboys. They do.
:45:55
But they're free. They just swing up,
and it's nothing but miles of grass.
