Horses Quotes

Sourced

What a long night is this! I will not change my horse with any that treads but on four pasterns. Ca, ha! He bounds from the earth, as if his entrails were hairs; le cheval volant, the Pegasus, qui a les narines de feu! When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk.

o Dauphin from Henry V, Act III, Scene VII.

o Robert Cunninghame-Graham, 1917 letter to Theodore Roosevelt.
