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…

Enjoy Your Horse at Any Age

It doesn’t matter what your age is you can still enjoy your horse. My husband and I have a lot of fun working our horses from the ground.

I still ride but he has given up riding but loves going out to brush them, talk to them and teach them from the ground.

Which of course works out for me because he keeps them all clean and shiny for me and I don’t have to do the brushing.

So whatever your age you can still enjoy your horse. Keep at it because they keep us young.

The Power in the Horse Human Relationship

A Horse Has Powerful Physical Force but Even More Emotional Force on the people whose lives they touch.

I’ve been involved with horses for many years but it was a long rainy winter some 6 years ago when I really learned the power in the horse human relationship.

When my 4th sister, Ruth, died I retreated from life. While I didn’t make a conscious choice to retreat I retreated just the same. Life was dull and gray and I  no longer thought about the future and meeting goals or building a career or even building and maintaining relationships. I simply existed moving through my day to day chores only because I had to or my horses would starve or at the very least be left in dirty stalls.

For several months following Ruth’s death I went through the motions of working my horses while hardly paying them any real attention. But gradually I began to sense and feel them on a deeper level than I had before.

I knew about body language and that we communicate with horses and humans with 80% body language and only 20% verbal language, so that was no surprise. What was a surprise was finding out they responded to my body and mind energy.

I learned that even my thoughts carry energy and as I think it my horses respond to it. I began to learn a whole new way to communicate with my horses and with people.

Day by day my horses began to teach me about a higher level of communication than I had known. They began to soothe my very soul and taught me that life here on earth in the physical form is after all only one form of life, but not the only form of life.

They began to lead me instead of me them and they began the process of taking me down an entirely different path than the one I had previously been on.

Did they help me to heal? Yes but more than that they taught me life is more than what we see and even feel. We can’t see a horse’s instinct but instinct exists. We can’t see this whole other realm of being, communicating and living but there is a higher level of life.

While I’m not sure how to explain it and what words to use, I do know that it exists and my horses helped me to get in touch with it that long winter.

If they can do this then how much more can they teach each of us. It’s a good thing to slow down and find out.
