Every Day Is A New Day For A Horse

 

I simply cannot stress it enough, the old cowboy wisdom I got many years ago is true to its core and it’s even reiterated in Sacred Spaces when she says that we need to let go of past stories about our horses. The old wisdom was this:

Never hold a grudge against a horse because every day is a completely new day for them. 

We humans are the exact opposite of that, so it’s hard advice to heed, but I swear it’s true because I’ve seen it again and again. 

Mr. Naughty yesterday was Mr. perfect today. 

From the moment I went to get him, he had that soft, sweet eye, and he came at a fast walk to greet me. 

Walk, trot to canter transitions were smooth, so we only did a few of them and then mounted up. 

I worked with Leah today, too. I want to help her move as much as possible this winter and spring. She used to be my sweet trail horse and still enjoys our communion. 

We also did Masterson Method bodywork, which she loves. 

Before I went out today, I chose to wear one of my dad’s favorite cowboy hats that passed to me after his death. 

And you can’t make this stuff up, I had a robin with me the entire time I was out at the arena. A robin. ❤️

I love getting out there and seeing what is in store everyday, because every day is, indeed, a new day, and full of surprises.
