For Sale
With spring time here and the horses about to loose their winter coats, it is time to take new pictures and revise our web site. We will be placing a different emphasis on our product, on precisely what it is that we sell.
I have come to realize that what we sell with our horses and with our riding programs is new lives. For those lives are already great, the horses make them even better. For those who hurt the horses heal. For those who are weak the horses strengthen. For those whose minds are tired the horses give rest.
When Emily came to ride she was a happy, wonderful little girl. She did not need healing, but a little touch of confidence would have made her life even better. She worked hard to overcome her fear after taking a surprise fall in the woods.
These two shots were taken last night. That is Valor that she is getting on. Until a few days ago Valor had never even had a blanket on her back. Until last night she had never had a bit in her mouth.
Until last night she had never had anyone on her back, not even a happy, confident little girl. Now she has.
I am proud of Emily. I am proud of Valor and, yes I admit it, I am proud of myself this morning.
Dude, Emily!
