Very cool local history!

~ Will James~
When James moved to New Mexico in 1927 he was broke and still recovering from a serious head injury he acquired in a horse wreck in Reno, Nevada, in 1922 .
While he was staying at the Santa Fe art colony, he became friends with Frank Springer's son Wallace who hired James to work at the CS Ranch, outside Cimarron, NM. It wasn’t long before Ed Springer, Wallace's uncle, recognized his literary and artistic talents and financed his education at Yale University.
The money was well spent. James went on to become one of the best-known Western authors and illustrators of all time. This photo of James standing with his favorite horse, Big Enough was taken at the CS ranch . (Philmont Scout Ranch.)

🌿 How Your Body Says No 🌿

Sometimes “no” doesn’t come out of our mouths. It comes out through our bodies.
A clenched jaw.
A knot in the stomach.
A sudden wave of fatigue that makes everything feel heavy.
That familiar lump in the throat.

Our nervous systems are storytellers long before our words catch up. For children, young people, and even us adults—those physical cues are not “overreactions.” They are signals of safety being threatened, boundaries being crossed, or energy being drained.

At Equimotional, we teach facilitators to notice and respect these signals—both in themselves and in the young people they support. Horses do this naturally: ears flick back, muscles tense, bodies shift. They don’t always neigh “no,” but their message is clear.

Learning to listen to the quiet language of the body—our own and our horse’s—means creating safer, more responsive spaces. Because saying “no” doesn’t always sound like “no" - but it always is.

✨ What are the ways your body quietly says “no”?
