I was asked to sing a song to a class of children at an elementary school in Las Vegas. I had none prepared. At the time I had this big black Tennesse Walking Horse named "Buster" and I was out on a ride. I thought "Kids love horses." I said, "Buster, what would kids like to hear from you?" Well, I knew that horses don't see colors the way people do and horses are such spiritual and healing beings and I believe all beings on earth are spirits here to teach us. I've always had a horse in my life since I was 12 years old. So I leanedI l down and Buster said to me, Let's tell the kids how I feel when I'm with my horse friends of all colors. We're just friends. We don't think about colors when we play. So, that's how I wrote the song " Horses Don't See Colors" Buster gave me that message to tell you.

HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
WORDS & MUSIC; JACKIE CARLYLE
BUSTER IS THIS HORSE I KNOW
HIS COAT IS SMOOTH AND BLACK
HE'S GOT TWO SOCKS AS WHITE AS SNOW
AND HE'S REAL PROUD OF THAT
HE DANCES AND HE PRANCES
WITH A SADDLE ON HIS BACK
AND HE TOLD ME YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW
THIS SPECIAL LITTLE FACT
AND THAT IS,
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO
THEY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER
RED, BLACK, WHITE OR BLUE
THEY KNOW A HORSE IS STILL A HORSE
SO HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO
WHEN BUSTER RUNS THROUGH THE FIELDS
ALL HIS FRIENDS COME 'ROUND
THEY TOSS THEIR TAILS AND CLICK THEIR HEELS
THEY MAKE QUITE A SOUND
THERE'S BIG 'OL RED AND JACK THE GRAY
A WHITE HORSE AND A BROWN
THEY RUN AND JUMP AS THEY PLAY
BETTER FRIENDS CAN'T BE FOUND
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO
THEY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER
RED, BLACK, WHITE OR BLUE
THEY KNOW A HORSE IS STILL A HORSE
SO HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO
BUSTER SAID TO TELL YOU
WHEN YOU'RE MAKING FRIENDS
MAKE THEM IN ALL COLORS
AND YOU'LL BE JUST LIKE THEM
AND YOU'LL HAVE SO MUCH FUN
SO I HOPE YOU WILL AGREE
THAT WE SHOULD LOVE ALL COLORS
JUST LIKE BUSTER SAID TO ME
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO
THEY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER
RED, BLACK, WHITE OR BLUE
THEY KNOW A HORSE IS STILL A HORSE
SO HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
HORSES DON'T SEE COLORS
THE SAME WAY PEOPLE DO
