I DID NOT KNOW...

I did not know a horse could bring people into your life that end up meaning the most to you.
I did not know a horse could make the hardest days of your life bearable.
I did not know a horse could teach you to put others first.
I did not know a horse could remind you time and time again that your gut is always right.
I did not know a horse could break your heart.
I did not know a horse could pick you up when you have fallen apart.
I did not know a horse could teach you to dream again, after you thought it was not possible.
I did not know a horse could make you believe in yourself.
I did not know a horse could teach responsibility, work ethic, and dedication.
I did not know a horse could make you believe in something when no one else does.
I did not know a horse could make you learn to forgive and forget.
I did not know a horse could humble you faster than you can say humble.
I did not know a horse could make you a winner.
I did not know a horse could also teach you how to lose gracefully.
I did not know a horse could instill patience in you.
I did not know a horse could make you listen better.
I did not know a horse could give you their heart.
I did not know a horse could change your life.
I did not know a horse could do all these things...
but now I know.

When to hang up your hat!
Just when you are wondering if you should hang up your hat, someone calls for a return visit from three years ago.
I ask " tell me why you decided to come again?"

Their response was " The horse's showed us that "energy" is real, it changed the way we see and experience the world . We are much more present and attentive to nuances around us. We have been furthering our pursuit for deeper understanding since that visit."

Timing is everything! Horses listen with their entire being, their full attention and their huge open heart's. Their essence is felt in their presence and cannot help but change yours.

Love and gratitude to the horse, to Creator and to all my relations. And a warm invitation to all that feel called to horse wisdom.

Ever wonder why a mule’s tail was trimmed into ‘bells’? Back in the day, the Army relied heavily on mules. A green, untrained mule had its tail shaved. Once it was trained to carry a pack, a single bell-shaped notch was cut into its tail. When it learned to pull a wagon, a second bell was added. If the mule was also trained to be ridden, a third tassel was trimmed below the others. So, a ‘three-bell mule’ was fully trained and highly versatile—making it easy to spot the right animal for the job just by glancing at its tail.

Viggo Mortensen once said:
"Someone once asked me what horses taught me most. I said—everything I needed to unlearn.
They don’t care who you are, or what you've done. They respond to how present you are in that exact moment.
Over time, I realized that if I approached people the way I approach a nervous horse—with patience, with honesty, and without ego—life became a lot quieter, a lot clearer.
You don’t control a horse. You earn its trust.
And maybe that’s the lesson for everything else too.”*
