Desert Awakenings

Take a deep breath...
⠀
Those who’ve never leaned into a warm horse’s muzzle,
who’ve never inhaled the scent of hay, leather, wind, and eternity living within a horse — they’ll never understand.
⠀
That smell isn’t just about an animal.
It’s about home. About the calm that wraps around your soul.
About a heart that’s tired of everything and finds healing in a single touch.
⠀
Loving horses isn’t a hobby.
It’s a piece of your soul — something you can’t explain, only feel.
⠀
💫 Breathe deep… and hold on to that feeling. It’s real.

A Horse’s love is the best love
❤️🐴❤️

Some things never change with time...
Even when your knees don’t listen like they used to.
Even when lifting the saddle by yourself gets a little harder each day.
Even when youth leaves behind only scars and memories.

The spirit of the horse in your heart — it never ages.
It remains just as wild, free, and true.
It whispers: you still can… you’re still a rider… you are a soul in the saddle.

Because the love for horses never fades. It only grows deeper.
And even if you can’t gallop across fields every day,
one look, one soft muzzle against your hand —
and your heart soars again.

You may be silver-haired. Tired. Quiet.
But inside — you’re still that little girl who dreams of riding into the wind.

And the spirit of the horse… it’s still there.
Always.
Forever.

💛 "Aren’t you too old for a horse?" — they ask. But that question isn’t really about age. It’s about love. The kind of love that knows no years…

I've been asked more than once: “Maybe you're too old to own a horse?”
And every time, my heart flinches — not from doubt, but from the very question.
Because how can you ever be too old for the one who heals your soul?

Yes, my knees aren’t what they used to be. The saddle feels heavier.
The barn grows colder with each passing winter.
But in the quiet where frost turns gold and breath fogs the air,
I remember who I truly am — through the gaze of a horse.

A horse doesn’t count wrinkles. Doesn’t notice the tremble in my hands.
All that matters to him is that I’m there.
And for that — for trust, peace, and steps in sync —
I’ll endure the pain, the weariness, the rain.

Because in that stillness, where hearts beat with hooves,
I find refuge. I find youth. I find me.
And age? It's not a barrier — it’s just one more reason to treasure every moment.

🧡 So when someone asks if it’s too late, I answer:
"It’s never too late for true love."

There is something magical about the way a horse touches our soul. Without words, without demands — just through its presence. It not only teaches us to trust but helps us discover our truest selves. Its patience, strength, and gentleness bring out the best in us. Because a horse is the mirror of our heart. 🤍🐴

My thought of the day:

A great horse, will improve any rider or trainer, a great horse will always exceed your expectations. I know, I've ridden and trained hundreds, maybe thousands of them. I've got one in training now, two actually and I know they will both be champions, but did I make them, no....I helped them, I encouraged and guided them, but let's be real, they were both born with that gift, I am just blessed to be trusted enough to help enhance it. They make me grateful, the make me thankful, but they don't change my life.

The special ones define it, but not by sucessful world final finishes, or money won or buckles or saddles collected, but by making me as the rider, work for it, think outside the box and expand myself. The ones that just can't get that counter counter or lead change, the ones that are afraid of the shavings bag for months on end, the ones that are chargy on cattle or don't corner balanced. The ones that take weeks to get to hobble or clip. The ones that come in reluctant to trust, on the defense about accepting suggestions, the ones too scared to think for themselves, the ones too cocky to not, lol.

The hard ones teach me more, the struggles are real, but the challenges and obstacles that you can lead them to and teach them through are a gift that no saddle or buckle can replace. When I think back to the "great" ones I've trained and shown, there are certainly many world champions in there, that I am thankful for, but those are not the first ones that come to mind. The first ones are the horses that struggled with lead changes, the owners that had lost their faith in their horse, the horses that were missing holes in their foundations, that I was able to help fill in. Those horses are what come to mind...the world champions have their place in my memories, and I am blessed to even be able to say that, but it's the ones that made me sweat as much as them, that tested my patience and called on every ounce of experience I had to raise them up a notch and make them a better horse, that I smile and remember first.

Sometimes no words are needed,
no explanations…
Just the quiet breath nearby, the soft warmth of a forehead resting against you —
and suddenly, you’re no longer alone.

Horses don’t ask why it hurts.
They simply stay close. And that’s enough to begin healing.

Because real angels don’t always have wings.
Sometimes, they have hooves.

In honor of my herd that I love more than words could describe Tewa and xena my heart is forever yours. Stormy, Sterling and Graycie and waiting for us across the rainbow bridge.

To My Faithful Friend

In the twilight of our years, my dear old friend,
We stand together where the golden fields extend.
You, with your weathered coat and gentle, knowing eyes,
Have been my constant companion under countless skies.

We’ve wandered through the valleys, climbed the hills so high,
Galloped through the meadows where the wildflowers lie.
With you, I’ve felt the wind sing freedom in my hair,
Every moment with you, no other could compare.

Remember when we braved the storms, unyielding in our way?
Or when we watched the sunsets, ending each long day?
You carried me through heartaches, through joys and endless dreams,
Together we’ve seen life in all its flowing streams.

Now, as the years have softened both your steps and mine,
I treasure even more this bond so rare, so fine.
You’ve given me your strength, your trust, your gentle grace,
In your steadfast presence, I’ve found my safest place.

So here’s my heart, dear horse, with gratitude so deep,
For every trail we’ve traveled, every secret we keep.
In your eyes, I see the stories of a life well-spent,
And in my soul, your spirit is forever sent.

As we journey onward, to wherever time may lead,
Know that you’ve been my dearest friend in word and deed.
For in this life of ours, with adventures yet to see,
There’s no greater love than what you’ve shared with me.
