We can go catch our horse, bring them in, tie them up and groom them. We can tack them up, jump on board and ride them and that is a privilege but when our horse chooses to catch us, to bring themselves in, to hang with us while we groom them. When they say, āYes pleaseā to having the saddle on and having you on their back, that is a gift that should never be taken for granted.
We can go to the field and sit with our horses as they are down on the ground resting and that is a privilege but when our horse chooses to come, stand with us and then sit and lay down with us, that is a gift that should never be taken for granted.
We can give our horse a scratch on the head or neck and that is privilege but when our horse comes to us, nudges us with his muzzle and then positions our hand on exactly the spot that they wish to be scratched in, that is a gift that should never be taken for granted.
We can attach our horse to a lead rope and take them out walking and that is a privilege but, when our horse chooses to walk with us without one, that is a gift that should never be taken for granted.
When it is our horses choice to be with us, to interact with us, when they CHOOSE US, that is a gift that should never be taken for granted.
Sharing a horses space is a privilege but when they choose to share ours, that is a gift that should never be taken for granted.
