Life too Fast? Slow down with a Horse.

 
Fast forward 29 years later. I have horses in my life again. This new experience has been in the making since I read Linda Kohonov’s 2001 book The Tao of Equus. I intuitively knew that horses would enlighten me, teach me and provide that almost intangible connection to the greater world around me. I had it in my mind to dream big, to have a horse in my life. I started my intention in May of 2009 with creating a vision as shown on my blog, http://lifeiznow.blogspot.com/2009/05/vision-board.html. 

Having Buster in my life has brought me back to those times when I was 14, on my mare Queenah, slowly making my way in the high desert of Arizona. Though those were turbulent times for me, I was able to get lost for awhile in the world of the horse. I could be authentic, let my guard down, all the while soaking up the adventure that comes from riding out in the Big Sky Country. 

Buster takes me to that same place, where all is natural, without pretense, and simple. My "monkey mind" settles into the rhythms of grooming, walking, and what ever else we do together. I can't multi-task and there are no deadlines. It's like a short vacation!
