Time for another double rainbow with horses!

Grazing under a rainbow arc, Mother Nature smiled at the peace.

A Little Perspective

Let me teach you.

When you are tense, let me teach you to relax.

When you are short tempered, let me teach you to be patient.

When you are short sighted, let me teach you to see.

When you are quick to react, let me teach you to be thoughtful.

When you are angry, let me teach you to be serene.

When you feel superior, let me teach you to be respectful.

When you are self-absorbed, let me teach you to think of greater things.

When you are arrogant, let me teach you humility.

When you are lonely, let me be your companion.

When you are tired, let me carry the load.

When you need to learn, let me teach you.

After all, I'm 'your' horse. (M Lamm 1997)

Horses in a child's eyes

A drawing of such beauty from my dear young friend named Jessica.

Children's art can be so true.

Riding with a Friend

There is such joy to watch my young niece Cassandra(10) learning to ride and seeing her confidence grow each time. Here is a fun day, when she had the opportunity to ride Andi, a lovely and kind Arabian who is a youthful 17 years old.

Dawn's Rainbow

Sometimes at dawn, when the moment is just right,
you can catch Mother Nature smile at first light.

Joy and Love

Two lovely images here of the joy that horses can express and the gestures of affection they are capable of.


The 'ladies' on the first day in a brand new pasture. They were running and frolicking, silly with joy.



Kissy Kissy!!
