Heavenly Horses Training and Rehab

SHE DID IT — and tonight felt like watching a prayer unfold in motion.

There’s something special about a horse who’s learning to carry herself in a new way. Tilly has lived her whole life with old patterns in her body — the bend, the drift, the hollow places that come from surviving instead of thriving. None of it was rebellion. It was memory.

But tonight… something shifted.

When I asked for the trot, she didn’t fall apart.
She didn’t brace.
She didn’t run from the pressure.

She broke at the poll, lifted her ribcage, stepped up from her hind end, and held her frame like she finally believed she could. Her shoulders rose. Her back softened. Her whole body aligned like truth settling into a weary heart.

And the Lord whispered:

“This is what it looks like when My children stop carrying themselves the old way.”

Because we all have places where we’ve been bent —
habits we didn’t choose,
wounds we learned to live around,
patterns we picked up just trying to survive.

But Jesus teaches us a new posture.
He teaches us to shift our weight into His strength.
He teaches us to move from the inside out.
He teaches us to lift what has been low for far too long.

It’s taken six weeks of quiet, faithful work…
but tonight she stepped into it.

She found the straight, the balanced, the beautiful.

And I felt it — that moment when horse and human breathe the same rhythm.
When trust becomes movement.
When effort becomes ease.
When the old way finally lets go.

Psalm 18:33 (KJV) echoed through my spirit:

“He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.”

Tonight wasn’t just training.
It was transformation.
It was worship.
It was God showing me — through a horse — what grace looks like when it finally takes root.

A beautiful DAY where I witnessed ..
SMILES rising, LAUGHTER echoing , lessons unfolding — and Jesus weaving His JOY through every moment.
3 riders glowing in the saddle.🙌
Tilly soft beneath my hands.
And the quietness of His presence settling over us like a sunset glow on the pasture !!

Horses carry what words cannot.
Jesus breathes LIFE where fear once lived.
And JOY — real, heart-deep JOY — blooms in every step.

This is the purpose: sharing Him, sharing horses, and sharing DREAMS.

This morning, Hope stood in the beauty of the day with her head high, steady on her feet, moving like the brave girl she is.

Yesterday we truly thought we were losing her. Her body was shutting down, her balance was gone, and her steps were unsure. But today… today she reminded us again what it means to walk by faith, not by sight.

Hope’s story keeps teaching us — over and over — that even when things look dark, even when fear tries to take over, God is still moving, still holding, still healing.Seeing her stand tall today was an answered prayer, a breath of relief, a reminder that His hand is never far from us.Hope is here. Hope is steady. Hope is such a blessing.And we will keep walking by faith… just like she does.

✨ “It was like a MIRACLE happened today…”

Hope gave us quite a scare this morning — head low, off balance, wobbling like a little weeble‑wobble trying to find her feet.
I was at work in WV and got the
“ call me “ text ?!? Mike said Hope isn’t acting right and my heart stopped for a second with fear ….

Yesterday we made a big change in her world. We added another blind horse to her space and closed her stall, thinking the companionship would comfort her in hindsight we took away her safe place in the stall and left her outside with a strange horse

For a blind horse, every sound, every shift, every new smell becomes a whole new world to process.All that change… all that sensory overload… it was simply too much for her gentle system.

We don’t know Whether she bumped her head in the dark or her nervous system just locked up from all the stress, she began showing signs of neurological dysfunction — holding her head to the ground , crossing her legs, wobbling, losing her balance. It was terrifying for all of us .

Blind horses don’t just “get confused.” Sometimes their whole body shuts down and has to reset, kind of like a breaker flipping in a storm.

We did everything we knew to do — gave her pain meds , electrolytes tried to push fluids …. Gave her anti‑inflammatories, steroids, kept her quiet, calm — but I believe with all my heart that what reached her first was LOVE.

It was When her girl Maura and her mom came to her… when Hope heard her voice… felt her touch… felt that steady presence she trusts more than anything… something shifted.

Maura is ALWAYS there for her. Every time. Every moment. Every need. She shows up without hesitation — gentle hands, steady voice, unwavering love. Hope feels that love !!

It was like a switch flipped before  the meds even had time to work —
Hope lifted her head, walked straight to her water bucket, and moved around her stall like her curious, bright, beautiful self again.

Just one minute she can’t walk , balance or hold her head up then the next minute she was normal . Like a miracle ..

Maybe she hit her head last night ?
Maybe she was overwhelmed?
Maybe her nerves were compressed or inflamed ? We don’t know …

But I KNOW this :
LOVE  reached her. God touched her. And her system RESET.
I’m thankful for Maura’s love — the way she never fails her horse, the way she shows up steady and sure EVERY TIME!!
Just like the Lord never fails us.

“He will never fail thee, nor forsake thee.” — Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)

Hope felt Maura’s love… and the touch of the One True King… and today we witnessed what felt like a miracle healing !!  and we are all
THANKING GOD AND REJOICING !! 
WE LOVE our HOPE !!

Beyond THANKFUL that God opens my eyes to see him in all things especially working with his Magnificent creation the horse …. WE ALL have a tendency to walk BENT in the direction of “the track “ …

Tilly walked beside me yesterday , soft‑eyed and willing, but her body still remembers a life she no longer lives.

There’s a racetrack bend in her frame when asked to trot — a leaning, a drifting, a habit formed from miles of running fast and hollow, braced against pressure, never asked to carry herself from behind.

She doesn’t mean to fall left.
She doesn’t mean to hollow her back.
She doesn’t mean to lose balance when I ask her to lift her ribcage and step under.

It’s just muscle memory — the old way calling her back.- racetrack muscle memory

And as I’m working with her, I feel the Lord whisper:

“This is how you are when you try to walk with Me but still carry the memory of the world.”

Because just like Tilly, we all have a bend —
a leaning toward old patterns, old comforts, old identities, old sins.
A drifting toward what once felt normal, even if it wasn’t healthy.

We don’t always mean to fall back into it.that way of thinking or living it is just the “old muscle memory” of the heart.

But then comes the gentle hand of the Rider.Not yanking, Not scolding , Not forcing.
Just inviting her to shift and balance trot straight and balanced

Just enough pressure that invites us us to shift our weight.
To lift what has been hollow.
To step under with strength instead of fear. To carry ourselves differently because Someone is carrying us.

And as I ask Tilly to step up from her hind end — to find balance, softness, and purpose — I hear Psalm 18:33 (KJV):

“He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.”

A hind doesn’t stumble.
A hind doesn’t drift.
A hind doesn’t hollow out under pressure. A hind is sure‑footed.

And that’s what Jesus does for us.

When we stop leaning on our old ways…When we stop bracing against His guidance…
When we stop trying to run on racetrack habits in a Kingdom walk…

He strengthens us from behind.
He lifts our spiritual ribcage.
He straightens what was crooked.
He makes our steps steady and balanced.

And yesterday — in the middle of the ride — she showed me the truth of it.

She did find the straight, the balanced, the beautiful 🙌🙌🙌

Not forced. Not held.
Not wrestled into shape.
Just found — like grace.
Just found — like surrender.

Just found — like the moment a heart finally leans on Jesus instead of the world.

Because just like Tilly learning to carry herself from her hindquarters,
we learn to carry our lives from His strength — not our own.

And the road becomes smoother.
The path becomes straighter.
The journey becomes peaceful instead of exhausting.

Not because we suddenly “got it right,”
but because we finally let the Good Shepherd guide our frame.

Today, as Tilly finds a few soft, balanced steps —
not hollow, not drifting, not braced —
I feel the Lord smile:

“This is what it looks like when you lean on Me. This is what it feels like to walk the straight and narrow.
This is the freedom of letting Me reshape your stride.”

And just like that,horse training becomes HOLY ground again.
THANKFUL AND BLESSED !!

THANKFUL FOR CAMERAS and videos and a husband that keeps me updated when I’m gone!

There is just something special about watching a horse being introduced to a new herd I love to be present and watch it and Feel the energy .. we have seen quiet introductions with a horse that slowly works their way into the herd , we have seen aggression and flat chase downs , and then like today we see pure EXCITEMENT and watching them figure out their placement …

Herd dynamics remind me so much of the way God moves in our lives. Horses choose their own order… their own leaders… their own safe places. We can’t force it, fix it, or rush it — we just make room, step back, and let the settling happen.

That’s exactly what we did with Legacy and Tucker.
They spent Two nights side‑by‑side in the barn, letting them breathe each other in before the pasture turnout.

And when Tucker finally stepped out, every horse on the farm lifted their head.
Curious. Alert. Watching him find his place.
Well Legacy let him know she’s
“QUEEN “ of the donkeys and her little herd — but it was all natural, all part of the kind of sorting God built into them.

And as I watched it unfold… I felt the Lord whisper to my own heart.

Because we’re not so different.

Our circles shift.
People come, people go.
Some seasons close, new ones open.
And it’s not rejection — it’s placement.

God knows the herd we need for the season we’re walking into.
He knows who strengthens us, who softens us, who challenges us, who protects us, and who cannot go where He’s taking us next.

“God setteth the solitary in families.” — Psalm 68:6 (KJV)
He places us.
He aligns us.
He moves us when it’s time.
He settles us where we will CAN GROW and have purpose .

Watching Tucker find his place reminded me:
I don’t have to fight for a circle, force a connection, or cling to what God has already shifted. I just have to trust the One who sees the whole field — the whole herd — the whole story.

And Tucker — he’s already finding his place in the story God is writing for him here.
