A Poem - What Do They See?

Looking at a horse, what do you see?
It depends on what you want us to be.
Some see on our backs riding dreams,
A signed up member in clubs or teams.
None matters if friendship is the goal,
Look closely into the windows of the soul.
Connection, partnership and bond,
Love is much deeper than being just fond.
Personality, character and spirit are there,
Our wonderful gifts we happily share.
Part of the family and friend you can trust,
Our manes soak up tears and will not rust.
Tell us your secrets and we will never tell,
Gift of healing we give if you are not well.
A horse is good for body, soul and mind,
And the very best therapy you can find.
Life lessons when the student is ready,
Yes teachers can be a hairy neddy.
There are so many things a horse can do,
What does a horse see looking at you?

Morning Mantra: “It’s the sweet, simple things in life that are the real ones after all.”

For the longest time, it feels like I’ve been trying to make sense of life. But now I see, there’s no sense to be made, only life to be lived.

For the longest time I was searching for this grand purpose to my life, to give myself a reason for being here. But now I realize that life isn’t a set purpose to fulfill, life isn’t important checklists to complete, life isn’t doing as much as it is being. Life is a brief moment to breathe, to love, to be kind, to feel.

Life isn’t in the huge accomplishments, the devastating disappointments, that is only a part of life and if that is all you focus on, you’ll miss most of it.

Life is in all the simple, little things that we so often overlook while we are chasing the big things or running from our failures. I wish it hadn’t taken me so long to realize this. I wonder how much life I missed?

Be here, be present, embrace your journey. There is so much beauty and wonder to be found right where you are. There is so much living to be done.

Today is THE NATIONAL DAY OF THE HORSE 🐴
The day was established by the US Senate in 2004, to recognize the contribution of horses to our nation’s history. The day is also to encourage the care and conservation of these sentient beings 🩵

Happy International Day of the horse!

Oh hay there, neigh-bour!🐴
Did you know today is National Day of the Horse? Along the , we have many horse neighbours so we wanted to take this opportunity to remind our Trail users to:

🐕 Keep pets on a leash to avoid spooking farm animals and ensure everyone’s safety.
🍎 Never feed animals along the Trail.
↔️ Stay back from fences as some farm animals might not be as friendly as they look.

And be sure to wish our horse friends a happy day today… from a safe distance!🐎

I am seeking support to help raise awareness about the importance of keeping dogs under control, especially in areas where horses and riders may be present. The safety of riders and horses is at risk when dog owners ignore the law and allow their dogs to run off-leash! Please help educate the public and keep everyone safe. Please share.
Thank you!

The only thing better than experiencing these beautiful creatures is being able to share them with others. We stopped to visit with this handsome guy on a trail ride this past Saturday afternoon.
