If you have never been loved by or loved a horse, you haven't experienced real love-unconditional, no need or judgmental, just for you love.
Just ask just about any non-horse partner of a horse person and they’ll tell you-DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO SEPARATE THAT HORSE FROM THAT PERSON. It will be something like trying to peel their skin off while they are still living-very difficult, very painful for all concerned, and, in the end, the result is not worth […]
Read More That Thing With Horse People and RelationshipsI’m sharing a blog that I believe needs to go viral. I believe this. I’m working to change what is wrong in our society. I can’t undo the wrongs of the past. I can only change what I can in the present and work towards a better future. I know, for example, that my ancestors […]
Read More White Christians Need to Fix this: NOWSource: Breaking News247.net “The next pressing question should be; ‘Do men who live with female horse guardians live longer?’ or maybe more to the point, ‘Do men who live with female horse guardians have more money?’, just asking. Have a Feel Good Sunday.” ~ R.T. Recent studies done in Western NC, Northern Virginia and northern […] […]
Read More Feel Good Sunday: Studies Show that Women Who are Horse Guardians Live Longer than Those Who Aren’t — Straight from the Horse’s HeartFirst, I watched Brentina’s retirement ceremony. Then Secretariat’s last race and Valegro’s final Olympia freestyle. Who doesn’t need to watch Aldrich’s one-tempi victory lap one more time? This part is embarrassing. I searched for a ridiculously sappy scene from that old movie, The Electric Horseman, where Redford sets the stallion free. It’s a kind of […]
Read More When Is It Time To Wind Down?this is in response to the fact that I seem to be getting an inordinate number of single male requests to ‘friend’ me on Facebook. Listen up, guys-I’m MARRIED-to a great man. And from what I can tell from your pages-your jokes, posts, photos, and what have you-well, let’s just say I’m less than impressed. […]
Read More For the record–This happened in my home state-not too far from where I live. So not only did I have the usual “oh, no, not another horse theft” reaction, but it was also “not in MY backyard you don’t!” response. Now I’m not being naive or silly. I know there are probably other thefts in the state […]
Read More Getting InvolvedMy grandpa drove a black pickup-step side with the old style pins and chains on the tail gate to lock it closed, hold it flat, or allow it to drop all the way down. As far as I was concerned, it was a Rolls Royce Silver Phantom. From the time I walked well, I was […]
Read More BeckyI have a theory-one of these days, I fully expect some major scientific funding back me up on it. My theory is-if you are really good with animals, any kind of animals, then the reactions of the animals in your life to the people you bring around them will tell you all you need to […]
Read More Character JudgmentThis was a sore point between my mom and I. You see-she had this idea that since I was the ‘spitting image of her’ (and I was), that I was going to have the identical interests and goals that she did-i.e. being an author, marrying a pilot, having a big family, being a social success, […]
Read More Romance & HorsesOn Oct 22, 1982, I had to make a decision I did not want to make. My horse had crashed in a panic on concrete and broken the bone between the hock and the stifle. He was 27 years old and a gelding of uncertain parentage. The vet, of course, offered to send him to […]
