    "A thunderstormâ??s driven rain"

    You'll need to fix that, but obviously that's not your fault.

    I both like and dislike the repeat of these two lines:

    "On my horse
    Riding the Wind"

    See, repetition is a great poetic technique, and I think it's does work, but it seems to me like you've taken the 'easy route', as you've only needed to replace two lines in each stanza.
    And then, with the fact that you've reused certain phrases, like "leave my day" or "over me", it feels a bit like you're cheating, in a sense.
    I'm not going to argue that you should change it though, because it does work well, no matter what my personal opinion is.

    I love the content. I'm thinking about the freedom, and how wonderful it must feel to just ride, in a fresh countryside.

    Good work Loretta. I enjoyed reading it. x

    I think you repeated on my horse riding the wind too many times. I think you could combine weather patterns, incidents, whatever you want to call them, into less stanzas but bigger, and then you wouldn;t have to repeat yourself so much

    I love this! I grew up a cowboy in Arizona then rode all the trails while working along the coastline in California. I know that magical feelling. Beautiful!
