I Know That The Horses Have Something To Teach Me

I got an email from an old friend who I haven’t talked to in a while.  She wrote that she found it curious that I was becoming interested in horses and she, who has had horses for most of her life, now has no animals at all.  When I read this, my immediate though was…. I know that the horses have something to teach me. 

And that’s just how I feel about my new interest in horses.  I know there’s something there for me.  Something I need to say “yes” to.  I’m not even trying to figure it out anymore.  I’m just going for it. It makes me think of when I went to Gee’s Bend to stay and work with the Quilter MaryAnn Pettaway.  I had no idea what I was going to learn from her, but I knew I had to go and find out.

Jon and I visited our farrier Ken and his wife Eli this weekend.  Eli and I talked about me taking riding lessons from her and about Chloe, the pony who it  seems might be a good fit for me. I’m excited about it, but also in no hurry.  I know it will all come in its time.

When Simon, our donkey died, a door opened for me.  His leaving made way for a new beginning. And I know that new beginning has something to do with horses. I can clearly see the stepping-stones, from the donkeys, to Rocky to the NYC Carriage Horses to Piper at Blue Star Equiculture.  It’s just the next place for me to go and see what I can see.
