Tagged in this again this morning… I’ve posted it many times but it never fails to remind me what S.A.R.C is about …
This …..
* Gives my head a wobble 🤯
* My heart another beat ❤️
…Reminders of some of the reasons why I keep going - Against ALL the odds - Even in those many moments of wanting to give up 😩🙏

How Much Weight Can a Horse Carry?

In my experience, a horse can carry an infinite amount…..

- They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies.
- Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower
- They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps
- They carry hopes and dreams
- They carry the stress from your day when you can’t carry it anymore.

- They carry graduations
- They carry new careers
- They carry moves away from everything familiar
- They carry marriages
- They carry divorces
- They carry Deaths and Funerals
- They carry babies before they are born, and even carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby
- They carry mistakes
- They carry Joy
- They carry good
- They carry bad
- They carry drugs alcohol and addictions
- but they also carry The Celelebrations of Cure.

- They will carry you to success when all you have felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.

- They will carry you through life, when life is hard, when life is heavy
- But a horse and the Right Equine Community will make you feel weightless under it all
