βTHE DREAM THAT MANY WILL NOT UNDERSTAND:
My horses are my dream.
One day when I am very old and when I can not walk anymore, they will be in my heart as a pillar of my memories.
As a horseperson, I met people who shared their knowledge and a kindred spirit, and I met others that I needed to forget.
I got wet,
I felt cold,
And I got hot;
I was afraid,
I fell,
And I stood up.
I even hurt myself, but through it, I laughed out loud inside.
I spoke a thousand times with myself.
I sang and shouted with joy like a wildman,
And yes ... sometimes I cried.
I have seen wonderful places and lived unforgettable experiences.
I climbed on horses that made me feel brave and excited...and then there were ones that terrified me......
I stopped a thousand times to see Godβs landscape.
I spoke with perfect strangers, and shared that common language only understood by horsemen.
I went out with the devil on my shoulder and returned home with a feeling of absolute peace in my heart.
Yes it can be dangerous, but the meaning of courage is to advance - even while feeling fear. Every time I go out to my horses I think about how wonderful they are to willingly accept a human partner.
I stopped talking about it to those who do not understand, and I learned who does.
I have met some amazing people I now call friends because of my horses.
I spent money that I should have saved, giving up many things, but all these things are not worth even one special moment with my horse.
They are not a means of transport or replaced by a piece of iron with wheels; they are the lost part of my soul and awaken my spirit.
And when someone says to me: "You should sell the horses and save your money and be more sensible", ... I do not answer. I just smile.
Horses..... only the person who knows & loves one understands.
May God bless my friends and all their horses...β

βDriven and enthusiastic riders brighten the world no matter their age. Your love for horses, desire to learn something new, and window to chase your dreams isβin a wordβtimeless.
Life is short. Ride the horse!
If you remember nothing else β¦ donβt let anyone or anything stop you from living the life you want to live. There are too many beautiful things that come from riding and being around horses to pass up the opportunity.
This applies to more than just riding, of course. Embarking on your learning adventure is always better than looking back with regrets.
As long as you have the desire to ride, a love for horses, and the ability to learn, youβre not too old to ride!β

*photo of Fern & I today - i push myself to find the courage to ride our greener mare regardless of my hip-mobility issues and the fears that come with riding a big nervous horse whilst over age 45. πͺπ» As we get older itβs so easy to excuse ourselves (even from the things we actually want to do). Keep showing up for yourself β€οΈ and donβt forget to give yourself grace on the days that you donβt have it in you.

We took a few weeks off from lessons to focus on wrapping up the school year & so we are really looking forward to seeing our students in a couple of days! Video of the evening birds & the first hot-air ballon to float by this Summer π
The farmstead has lots of amazing birds. The song of this Brown-Headed Cowbird (or in our case Horsebird) sounds like a computer. Have your kids research this bird if you want to learn about some other tricks (besides following Livestock to help it catch βdinnerβ) that this bird has developed.
Yesterday started with having Kevin rescued from a tree
Yesterday at 7:30 am Canopy Cat Rescue came out to get Kevin (aka Cloud) out of this super tall & somewhat sketchy Maple tree. Kevin is a lynx-highlander that was adopted 6 years ago (from an unhealthy situation where he was locked inside with many other animals, filth & intense cigarette smoke). Due to his breed & his past experiences, Kevin has an extremely strong desire to go outside & will yowl at an intense volume (in distress) if he isnβt let outside. He will also hide & run out when you try to sneak out a doorβ¦ it has not been possible to keep him inside so please try to keep that in mind. He has a boy who loves him as much as life itself. Thank you CCR for being so kind & caring to both cats & their humans.
So much happiness π Homeschool Horsemanship today π€
The co-op had black copper marans & prairie bluesβ¦ so of course we had to get some! Excited for super dark brown & bright blue eggs in a few months π₯° Reminder: we have an egg box with fresh eggs for sale outside our barn gate! The egg box is operated by Cooper, (age 13) as part of his homeschool. Thank you!

Perfect lesson weather π
Elise & Phil
Learning the bridge obstacle (with no bit) π she is so patient with him & is doing great on learning firm communication π
Well at least we got in a good ride first!
Phil got the night off because two riders chose to work with Carl. We went in to feed dinner & Phil looked like he had been taking a nap π€£ Itβs good for Carl to get the miles that us adults are too heavy to put in him ππΌ
Sage is such a calm rider & Carl literally went over a βbridgeβ for her. Thatβs amazing π₯ΉLooks like he found his person π«ΆπΌ
Happy 18th Birthday Olivia!
π«ΆπΌππ18! πΈπ½
Elise did so amazing after a month holiday break!
Lexi, our sweet equestrian student is selling Campfire Candy - message Tanya Strawn to order!
Thank you for being a part of a great year!
Hereβs to another year!
