I truly believe that the right horses find you at the right time, and boy, I love a mare. They are so switched on. Your description of Trudy made me smile inside. She sounds like my little mare Gemma, with her 'how very dare they' approach to life! Thank you for this.

I love this Keats poem you shared, and this story. Also this line: 'No matter how painful, stay in your feelings and don’t bail. It may not seem like it at the time, but I can tell you from experience, it is far less dangerous.'

I agree, and how generous you are sharing this. Thank you.

I’m doing great. Back to Pilates and weights and trail riding my Trudy girl. Feeling good. Thank you! ❤️

I love this. Everything about it. Sometimes I feel like my love for horses makes me imagine there is more going on with their quirks and personalities than there really is, but other horse-people remind me that they are so much more complex than we can know. And it’s so true that the “right” horse finds us. Best to Ty. I hope he settles with his fears. Maybe Gemma can teach him.

I get reminded of that also. They are individuals with their own personalities. Just like us! Thanks for your wishes for Ty. We are making progress.
