I post pictures and videos of me riding all the time and I don’t get critiqued often. I don’t get readers sniping at me about weight gain or crookedness or eyes up or down. It isn’t often someone beaks off on the subject of how I am losing the fight against aging…and I don’t appear to be losing it gracefully! In fact, if I’m to tell the truth, I haven’t really noticed much change except I’m not as tough as I used to be.

And yes, ‘tough’ is a good thing in my world, although it doesn’t seem such a sought after trait these days. Everyone is so soft, except where it counts…in the heart.

Anyway, I commented on a post written by a trainer I admire the other day about allowing people to criticize. My opinion was let them! If they pick and critique and try to tear you down, they are just showing their own true colours. They are small thinkers with wizened up souls. And it’s not up to us to marshal them! They are not our problem.

I prefer to live larger than how I look in or out of the saddle. I prefer to keep working on growing my horsemanship and bettering my riding skills. I prefer to share my journey, write my stories, talk endlessly about my horses and my dogs and those damned cud-chewing cows. Let the couch jockeys and keyboard warriors ride into oblivion without so much as claiming a minute of my attention. I’ve got a life to live…and a block button. 😜

Have a good day folks! ☺️

My big country horse, LJ...learning to be handy. I guess I'll forgive him for breaking those reins a couple of weeks back. 🤷 😉

Like Eddy said, I'll open a lot of gates when I ride this big hummer because there aren't too many horses who can stay the distance when he gets to making tracks. 😂

Cam comes to visit:

The babies are out playing.

30 minutes in she’s putting them in their stall. “I can’t take this anymore”.

“Y’all are too much. She just lets yall do too much.”

We have missed her and her “rules” 🤣❤️. I admittedly do, in fact, let them do too much 🫠🤣.

Braille 💔

Thursday we said goodbye to Braille. It’s unsettling to my heart that I could never get it right for him. He arrived in February as an “add on” when we helped another horse in need and we were asked if we could help a blind gelding as well. At the time, I was struggling to keep my passion for rescue, and Braille reminded me why I have to keep going. I knew he was special the moment I got on the trailer to unload him and just being in his presence reminded me just how magical horses are. Huge, beautiful, and completely blind, he was searching for anyone he could trust to guide him and that moment and I was blessed to be that person. He followed us into the barn that night and the relief he felt was palpable as if he knew he would be safe there. He gave his trust freely and willingly, and you could lead him with just your hand on his face.

Braille was in the barn for around a month and he thrived. We originally thought his right eye would have to be removed due to pain/drainage/atrophy but the day that was scheduled Dr L decided it had improved so much that we wouldn’t put him through that. Braille was at least 25 years old and if we could avoid surgery that would be best for him. We all celebrated that day and were excited that he could finally be moved to the blind horse paddock. We keep several sighted horses in there as well to help the blind horses and Braille was paired with Jill to help his transition. It was painful to watch him try to adjust as he started to spin in circles and call out trying to find us. I think if Braille could have had a human with him 24/7 maybe he could have thrived.

We rebooted after his pairing with Jill failed and brought him back to the barn. He was then paired with Barry, a partially sighted horse and he seemed to settle in and we were eventually able to move them to the blind paddock. Immediately, spinning in circles again. We have integrated so many blind horses over the years and I’ve never had one react this way. We started to worry that Braille may not be able to adapt to life completely blind.

Last week, when he became lost and confused and was unable to find the water tank on multiple occassions we felt it was time. Braille was not having “a good time” and I had exhausted all options other than keeping him in a stall for the rest of his days.

Braille deserved more than the ending he was dealt. He was everything good in this world and I hope he went across the Bridge with full vision and he was no longer scared of the world around him.

I hope you can see everything now Braille. Thank you for giving me the strength I needed and I’m so sorry that I couldn’t give that to you 💔.
