My chosen blog title
Equine elixir rolled off my tongue as I was contemplating the title for my blog. It rolled off smoothly and calmly like a satisfying taste of home grown honey. The title is befitting to the whole essence of my desire to write...it is the impetice for my life of the past two and a half years. Horses have given me the medicine that has healed me when I am sad, frustrated and most importantly when I am stressed. The timing of their presence in my life has not been coincidental by any stretch. It was predetermined a long time ago. It was only when I opened my spirit and my soul to the possiblity of something extraordinary that I was delivered the gift of the horse. I listened to small voices, intuitions and compelling draws not knowing where they would take me or why I was being led. I had faith that something special was coming and I wanted to be there to meet it. I was excited to be surprised in my life; to relinquish the strong-armed control I had in every aspect of my existence. I still need and want control but horses have been great teachers in the leadership they show me as I follow them into their unique world. The equine elixir is forever sweet and savory but if ingested too quickly without reverence and gratitude can easily choke you and reject you with decided disdain.

I share an appreciation for Horses, probably not to the extent you do. I love being around them and engaging them with both feet on the ground. I am hesitant to ride again since 3 back surgeries have made me feel vulnerable to injury. but the connection possible with just their eyes and expressions and their trust is amazing.
