* The Black and The Free

Saddle, cinch and bridle the black and the free??!!  I despise the notion.  Bare back and by mane we will make our way through the muck, mier and underbrush -- out onto the moors where it is clear passage and he may have his gate.  Until then, he will respect I am aboard and know that together we will find our next step! .... but to saddle, cinch and bridle the black and free .... to control and manipulate and hold back with tight reign --- the Spirit will surely be broken and scarred!  And our friendship would never be honoured!
