Wisdom

Just read this blog.

Breaks my heart, knowing that a good horse has come to their end. It's a tough life and an even tough decision to make that call. I can empathize and sympathize.

I look at some of the horses that are being shown, those that are doing rodeos, those that are in the public eye. Then I look at the Sanctuary horses. They look a little rough right now because I can't get out and untangle their manes (the heat and mosquitoes are too much, let alone my back giving out...isn't pregnancy great!). But the Sanctuary horse are, as the author says, "more precious than gold". Even Junior, who we've only known for nine months now is worth his weight in gold. We don't have flashy horses, we don't have stakes winners, or points earners. We have humble horses that are willing to teach us what we need to learn and not be irritated by our mistakes.

The wisdom of our Sanctuary horses (especially the older horses) is beyond comprehension some times. They have seen more in their years than I have in mine (and I'm older than them). But that wisdom is amazing and fascinates me to no end. I only hope that I can learn from their wisdom and that they forgive me for my lack of knowledge.
