Horses: God’s Incredible Creations in the Wild

The picture shows beautiful horses running free.

 Jesus Made the Horses

Jesus made horses to run free like the beautiful Mustangs and the Appaloosas. They are so strong and beautiful. There are not just appaloosas and mustangs; there are quarter horses and paints. At first, they were all wild, but now they are trained for us to ride. Some are still running free and in the wild. God above said, “All things are good”.
The horse is a symbol of power. It is a wonderful creation of God, that God made. That is why the horse is my favorite animal. Oh, I know that there are a lot more types of horses than mustangs, appaloosas, quarter horses, and paints, but these four you should know.
