the nature of horses...

(Me and my friend, Cavan. Rest in peace, Little Man...)

Horses are true to themselves.


If we don't get the answer we want from them, we asked the wrong question.

Horses teach us patience, humility and integrity. One can not be false with a horse. One can not lie to a horse. They know what the truth is, and they will remind you of it. Always.

A horse can be kind to show us that we can trust. A horse can be spirited to remind us to not be complacent. A horse can be strong to carry us home when our own legs have weakened. A horse can remind us to treasure life and the ones we love--everyday.

Even when our hearts are broken, we need to stand up and take care of ourselves and also take care of those who need us.

I can not get UC Cannie out of my mind....

Cannie was a beautiful and wonderful broodmare who taught so many important life lessons to those who loved her.

Her kindness and nobility carry on.
