Riser Zechariah came to Country Meadow Farm, LLC after several months of prayer. We are thrilled to be this talented stallion's forever home, and we are blown away daily at his sweet spirit and incredible teachability. He is currently under saddle, and we look forward to what the future holds for him. Please join us in praying, as we remain open to whatever opportunities the Lord brings into focus
for Riser. A note from Shelby...
I asked the Lord, "What do you call this horse? I do not want to call him what the world has named him, I want to know what you call him, and the Lord whispered to my heart, 'I call him Zechariah'." Zechariah means "Yahweh Remembers", and it is also the book of the Bible I have been studying since July of this year. The Lord hears the cries of our hearts, as well as the silent murmurs. He will open the doors He wants us to walk through, just as a man will open the door for his beloved. We do not have to kick down the doors, we just have to allow our Lover to open them for us. It is undeniable that the Lord opened the doors with such excitement for Riser Zechariah to come to CMF. This horse is uniquely special, and I love in the first chapter of Zechariah where it talks about the horses in Zechariah's vision. "I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and it stood among the myrtle trees in the hollow; and behind him there were red horses, speckled, and white. Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these be. And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through earth. And they answered the angel of the Lord that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, we have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest." I will let you decide what that means for you, but as for me, this completely changed how I view the horses I have been given the privilege of loving, and has forever changed the way I "train" a horse.
