Why do girls like horses so much? At Saratoga, the picture is clear. We take a look at some generational bonding over thoroughbreds, and some stabs at answering the age-old question. Words and images located at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
New blood
If they had said
it would be so big
you might have believed it --
they say lots of things,
and some prove to be true enough.
But this heaving, sweating beast;
scary, aloof, and cross --
is this what your battered pink toys
are meant to resemble?
Hold the hand
that protects you from harm,
until the day arrives when suddenly
you can reign up at large,
determining hand over hand
how far it is to fall.
