• getting out with your pets

  Okay, my pet is a horse. I do not own a dog. I like dogs and we like to be dog sitters instead of owning one. I am riding my horse today. It takes my mind off of the world problems and the things I don’t understand. I am getting my iPhone tripod figured out…

• The Look

  Horses have a certain look. The eyes are best to be looked at at the right or left side of their head, as horse eyes are really positioned on the side of their face. Humans’ eyes are straight on centre of our head. Horses aren’t great at full frontal viewing. I grabbed some photos that…

  The sun did not shine today so it was a dull photo snapping. I can imagine what these scenes will look like in the spring. Can you?

• on the way to there

  The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don’t feel really good on your way to there, you can’t get there. You have to be satisfied with what IS while you’re reaching for more.” Esther Hicks

• stepping back

  I like to pause for a moment and take a breath before I enter into a relationship that requires attention at a different mindset.

• the weather is better

  The evenings are amazing for weather. My husband and I spend a lot of our evenings with our horses. When we have unsaddled our horses they get to eat green grass for a few minutes. Green grass in middle of September? We had 11 inches of rain in a matter of a few days a…

• My anxiety journey with the horse

  Yes, that was me. When I learned to ride 18 years ago it was not without tension and a tight stomach-ache. Before I got on the horse I always had to excuse myself and head to the washroom.. Three years ago it ended. I am now very comfortable on a horse. I still overthink getting…

• horses change my mood

  

  Our horses get moved to a different pasture to graze regularly throughout the year. They are heading out to the south pasture. Watching them this close move together is what is missing in this world. We move together singly and technically. We all know and feel we are missing out on the human contact or…
