I DID NOT KNOW...

I did not know a horse could bring people into your life that end up meaning the most to you.
I did not know a horse could make the hardest days of your life bearable.
I did not know a horse could teach you to put others first.
I did not know a horse could remind you time and time again that your gut is always right.
I did not know a horse could break your heart.
I did not know a horse could pick you up when you have fallen apart.
I did not know a horse could teach you to dream again, after you thought it was not possible.
I did not know a horse could make you believe in yourself.
I did not know a horse could teach responsibility, work ethic, and dedication.
I did not know a horse could make you believe in something when no one else does.
I did not know a horse could make you learn to forgive and forget.
I did not know a horse could humble you faster than you can say humble.
I did not know a horse could make you a winner.
I did not know a horse could also teach you how to lose gracefully.
I did not know a horse could instill patience in you.
I did not know a horse could make you listen better.
I did not know a horse could give you their heart.
I did not know a horse could change your life.
I did not know a horse could do all these things...
but now I know.

💕They change you — not in loud, dramatic ways…
but in the quiet, soul-stretching moments you don’t even notice at first.

✨In the way you learn patience,
not just with them — but with yourself.

✨In how you begin to listen with more than just ears —
you feel, you read energy, you connect.

✨In the trust that’s built, not bought.
In the lessons that are taught, not told.

✨Loving a horse stretches your soul in ways you didn’t know it could grow.
It softens your edges and strengthens your spirit all at once.

You don’t just become a better rider.
You become a more present, more grounded, more whole version of yourself.

And once you’ve been loved by a horse…
you carry that imprint forever💕

There will be times in life when you find yourself sitting with a horse at sun up.

Where tears can flow freely...

A heart can mend gently..

And life lessons be taken in solitude.

There will be a horse who feels every tear...

Regulates their own heartbeat to heal yours..

And whose warm breath will fill the depths of your soul.

A silent conversation that will bring you...

Clarity.

Hope.

And strength.

When the road becomes a little bumpy..

Go sit with a horse...

Listen to the silence..

Heal🌿

✨There’s something about the sound of quiet chewing in the stillness.
🐎The way a horse just stands there — not trying to fix you, just being with you.
✨And suddenly, the weight you’ve been carrying doesn’t feel quite so heavy.

No one asks you to explain yourself.
No one hurries you along.
You’re just allowed to be — messy, tired, joyful, anxious, human.

The barn doesn’t care if you cried on the way there.
It welcomes you anyway.
And the horses?
They listen with their whole heart.

It’s not therapy.
But it’s a kind of medicine.
The kind that reaches places words can’t always touch💕

Some have left — but they’re never truly gone.
Their hooves no longer touch the ground,
but every breath of wind, every ray of sunlight on the field
reminds us of them…
of those who were more than just horses.

They were our joy, our strength,
our silent friends who understood without words.
And though their bodies rest,
their spirits remain with us —
close, unseen, eternal.

We remember them in every moment of pure laughter,
in every glance at the stars,
in every warmth we feel for no reason.
Because they are part of us. And always will be.

🕊️ To every horse who changed our lives…
We still talk about you.
We still feel you.
We still love you. 🤍🐴
