Strange Days

We rolled into May with wind storms, temperatures up to 89 during the day and down to 38 degrees at night! Then we had thunderstorms with a deluge of cold rain, wind and even snow on the mountain... then hail visited us yesterday with a switch to sunny, calm and hot within an hour!

New Mexico is quite a dynamic place to live.


We had just purchased the sweet little mare, Penny, before the storms rolled in. With such warm days previous, she had shed her winter coat and was essentially naked! Jer and I went to check on her about 20 minutes after the temp dropped with the high winds and chilled rain. She was shaking violently!

We got out the turn out rugs from storage and started with Penny - coming at her with a big blue, flapping garment. She stood (eyes a bit big and holding her breath) as we tamed the blanket in the wind and got it fastened onto her. I don't know if she had ever worn one, but after the blanket was on, she sighed and began to shiver less.

We rugged everyone for the next few nights. We had to remove them quickly come morning and the sunshine... each day was hot enough to kick on the A/C in the house, then cold enough at night for me to bring the comforters back out! I love New Mexico!

Horses Heal Us

If you can get you out of the way when you come to your horse, he will show you how to shift your position within the field to a place that supports and nurtures your soul. It's all about how you feel and you empower those feelings and they create your reality and your horse is ready to show you how to feel magnificent.

Compassion not Compulsion

In all of our relationships, the light of integrity is held by Compassion. If we consider something other than our own motives and agendas, we can open to living a real life outside of the world of illusion. With animals, we will establish communication instead of domination. With loved ones, we will share our very souls. With humanity, we will become beacons of reason and unconditional love. We will shift ourselves and those who resonate with Nature to a higher kind of love and life where the demoralizing of others is simply not accepted.
