I completely enjoy your writing style. I am not able to say exactly what it is but there is a certain transparency about it that allows me to see further into those moments you are describing. Partly, I think it is also because you you mix what happens and reflect upon those "happenings" in such a way as to make it hard to miss what you felt as you were there in the moment. And the photos are outstanding as well. What a portfolio, or at least a great collection to have on the walls of your cafe!Dan Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887404077632019996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716200845301236780.post-82005845049359547082010-05-03T09:58:58.924-06:002010-05-03T09:58:58.924-06:00This is Natural Horsemanship at it's finest he...This is Natural Horsemanship at it's finest here! Most excellent...both of you learned alot yesterday! I have trained about 100 horses with Larry's style...and it has never failed me. There is also "beyond natural horsemanship" which is the next step.... which further helps horses utilize their natural instincts to become part of the decision maing process with you. Ask Larry if he has ever heard of that. :) Did you know a horse will automatically know where to cross a body of water/river/lake/stream about 1/8th of a mile before you get to a stream or river...Their smell and hearing tells them where the water is running fastest, where it is the best to cross. Many horses will traverse natural obstacles that way. When in doubt let your horse to the thinking, when they are scared offer reassurance, when they are not confident be their leader, when they don't want to...understand why.<br /><br />A favorite quote of mine that I have been using alot lately is "show me your horse and I will show you who you are". Yes, horses are a mirror that reflect our deepest desires and souls.<br /><br />I lost a set of rings and let it go in a short amount of time. They were worth thousands. One day...in the bottom of a drawer...these reappeared -- two years later. This reminds me of how love goes: as love is better to have love and lost than never to have loved at all...and to rediscover it again is more than we could have possibly hoped for, imagined or dreamed to experience! I hope we all let our scars fall in love again...and we all get that chance to rediscover those "rings at the bottom of a drawer".<br /><br />Enjoy the day...M.

Horsemans Haven sounds like a wonderful place with wonderful, talented people.<br />Keep eating those pies, you still have a few more miles to go, and can use the pie power. You are becoming a true "Pie-o-neer... Guess who said that.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852557966990180038noreply@blogger.com
