Lord God,
you have made all living things
and you are even more wonderful
than the things you have made.
We thank you especially for giving us the animals
who are our friends
and who give us so much joy in life.

Bless the remains of this horse.
He rendered great service and ever reminded his master of your power.
As this animal trusted his master to take care of him,
so should we trust you to take care of us.
In taking care of the animals you have made,
may we share in your love for all your creatures.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
