Dare I say it? I hold my breath as I do. Spring is coming!! The fruit trees are budding. Birds are singing. Renewal is on its way. It happens every year right about this time, yet still seems fresh and new. My horse knows too. She is shedding. I am brushing huge chunks of long [...]

The spring planting season is just around the corner. My husband and I will make our yearly journey down to the local farm and garden store to purchase our seeds and plant starts. We will buy onion starts. They will be tender, young and green. Once safely in the dirt these little small sprigs of [...]

I do a lot of thinking as I am driving. There is something about cruising down the road that frees up my mind. However, it’s a little alarming to me when I realize I’m only about ½ there as I am heading to wherever “there” may be, which is usually either the ranch where I [...]

We had our first major snow fall in the state I call home. It was a sudden dumping of about a foot of beautiful fluffy white powder. The air was so cold and dry that the snow stayed like loose sugar. It covered the hills surrounding the ranch where I keep my mare, leaving only [...]

It has occurred to me that spending time with my mare tends to make me a better person, a better human being. It took many years of hanging out with her to learn some valuable life lessons. That part of my education began about 7 years ago when she and I first met. At our [...]

I approach my beautiful dark bay mare in her pen. She knickers a soft greeting to me. I take her fly mask off, revealing her big brown eyes looking back at me. I love taking the mask off, exposing her eyes, like opening the window to her tender soul. We say our helloes. A little [...]

Let me tell you a funny story about my cat Buddy. He is a beautiful black and white tuxedo cat. One night I was relaxing in my big red recliner. I suddenly became aware of the rustling of a plastic grocery bag. I looked up and out of the corner of my eye and I [...]

The ranch where I board my big bay mare with the soft brown eyes has a small trail course. One of the obstacles we get to practice on is a water hazard. It’s a small 6×6 puddle in a concrete liner. The first time I tried to get my mare to cross that small puddle [...]

Pause. Take a deep breath. As you exhale let go of whatever is on your mind. Become aware of your toes, of your ankles, of your knees, of your seat bones. Breathe – deep – a full breath. Exhale any worries, any stories. Be right here. Right now. What do you taste? What do you [...]
