Worlds Smallest Horse is Born

Horse lovers take a look at the Worlds Smallest Horse

Horse lovers take a look. No matter how old you get you can still enjoy having horses. While I love my big 16.3 H gelding it would be quite fun to have a small horse. I guess as a horse lover you can always down size and still get your horse fix. I could fit 30 small horses in my barn. I bet my husband would just love that!

Take a look at this fun video…

Horse Lovers Goals May Be Simple

Yesterday I spent the day with a friend whose mare has just foaled a pretty filly for him by HH Redrock. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. The barn where the mare and foal reside is located in the unlikely middle of a busy suburban area south of Seattle.

The owner of the barn and I chatted about the upcoming show season and I asked her if she was planning to show this year. Her response to me; she wasn’t sure she would bother with the competition. She went on to say that what she really enjoyed was just being around her horses and watching them. Learning how to improve her horsemanship skills and even cleaning stalls and keeping her small farm up.

Her enjoyment was simple…being around her horses. Her horses don’t have to be top show horses or even a particular breed for her to find pleasure in them. She doesn’t have to have an expensive horse of top bloodlines and her horses don’t have to do anything but be. They bring her pleasure by being there and doing just what horses do. Eat, poop, roam around and look for a bit of attention once in a while.

It reminds me of how we as humans often look for purpose and meaning in our lives when really to God and our parents, children, grandchildren, wife or husband- all we have to do is just be…to bring them pleasure.

But I digress from my purpose which is horses and how they don’t have to do or be anything but horses for a real horse lover to find pleasure. We may choose to show our horse or we may choose to just let our horse hang out in the pasture and pet them as we go by in our day to day chores. It is often times the simple things that bring us the most joy.
