The Rainbow Bridge - Horse Version


There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.

Whenever a beloved horse passes from this realm, they all go to the very special valley. There is always thick lush green pastures with tall grasses dancing in a soft breeze. There's crystal clear blue sparkling waters, running in rivers, waterfalls, and streams. Warm spring weather with a soft gentle breeze. The old and frail animals are young again. Those had been injured or maimed are made whole again. They romp and play all day.

There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them here on Earth. So each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! Nostrils flared, ears up! Sparkling eyes, from the intent gaze, as this one looks onward toward the bridge! And then, suddenly runs from the group.

You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you wrap your arms around your special friend's neck, tangle your fingers within their locks of hair and in the flowing mane, your friend arches that graceful neck and bows low the noble head, in order to be able to reach down in your arm's embrace.

You look into those big knowing and loving eyes, as your own lashes are covered in a veil of happy tears. You are at long last, together again. And Together you cross over the Rainbow Bridge. Never to be separated again.

I can say what a wonderful place and what comfort for those who have a loveing horse who can run a play there untill they meet there friends and loved ones on that special day. There is always that hope, that dream of being with them once again and that is what counts, to give all of us humans that peace of mind that our critters are well cared for under the hand of God who created them.
