Running with Horses concludes with Allan Boesak's memorable speech held at the Ashley Kriel Memorial, 25 years later the launch of the UDF and leaves the reader with a message of hope:

"Too many of us are despairing, mourning the loss of what we thought we had, bemoaning the state of our democracy, blaming others and forgetting our own responsibility. Let us be done with all that now ... Yesterday is behind the mist of night. Today is the gift of new arising. Tomorrow is the dawn of our awakening. The coming day belongs to us!"
