Good luck on getting me to take a photo now, my wife has been asking for that over a year and she dont get to see it before I clean it up first, so while you may be a special friend Steph? My wife has dibs on any such photo that I don't think she would want anyone else to see!
Just think, bear + campsite = what Tree's house looks like ("looked" like earlier today).
And on my last story (which, I've been telling to many to fast and need to slow down, but with my WIFE COMING HOME AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS??? I dont think there will be a problem, I think Im going to be unheard from for a while, her n I have lots to catch up on! :D )
But on that last story.... as I rode by that young woman, I didn't look down, nor wait for any response, just kept riding and said loud enough for her to hear me over her tears...
"That's why I quit class"
(it was more than just that my horse wanted to attack him, rearing up at him ready to strike him 'back' right before he turned to me, rope in hand and said "no way")
So we "failed"... what the fliers around town advertised as "Natural Horsemanship" class....
But, I'm okay with that..... and so is my horse, who loves me enough to do whatever I say, even if he is in total panic, totally afraid or totally pissed off, he does what I say even if it could cost him his life.
There is no whip, more powerful, than the power of respect, trust, and pure honest love.
No whip can force from him, the kind of control, he GIVES me, with his honor in tact,
with all his heart.
While she cried, her horse looked in confusion as if she could just see far enough, she could find the answer, to why she had been hit, when she too was willing to give her rider, the same thing, for the same reason.... she loved her..........
I have had to hit my horse 3 times, in 3 years.
He was wild, then stolen from me, and appears to have been beaten during that time.
When I got him back he threatened me that year, and has also done the same around once each year for different reasons, and I had to use a whip, I did not hit him with it, (the times I hit him, I slapped him with my hand on his shoulder 3 times, once for each time he struck out at my abdomen with his front hoof within an inch of making contact) but made him do maneuvers with it while I was on the ground and he was on a rope or in his pen. Until he could SHOW me he would do what I said and had regained his self control, and in that instant, I STOP.
Horses do kill. As happened last year to a woman with a stallion who always wanted one of that breed, but much as the woman loved the horse, I dont think the horse felt the same, and that mistake cost them both, their lives. He was destroyed after he stomped her to death.
I will not ride ANY horse, I do not know well enough to trust with my very life.
Because that's just what I'm doing with any horse I get onto the back of or stand within striking distance of.
I have been afraid of him before "plenty" and I let myself be, and listen to it, and have HIM earn my trust back, no less than I make myself, EARN his trust in me. Like by putting that whip DOWN the second he shows me again, he will LISTEN to what I say over his own instincts, bad habits or desire to put any human that try's to tell him what to do, into the hospital.
He is, a War Horse, and in battle, war horses kill (not just other humans, but other horses dogs or any other kind of danger, their is no "flight" there is only "fight").
But they also, defend and protect their riders, with their very lives.
But you have to earn their respect in you, as a warrior, worthy, of dieing for.
And I did not get that from him, with a whip.
But with the power of the heart, of a warrior willing to fight to protect the innocent,
his family, his horse..... (like by standing shoulder to shoulder with him against griz, or driving off those who try and touch him - without asking me first i.e. disrepectful)
This is why he bows to my feet even to this day,
in respect, of one warrior, towards another,
and I, bow back, the same way, for the same reasons. -

I thank you for your the sentiments amit. I am one to cry easily at movies.Alison I loved your story losing your sister must have been so painful for all of you. I do understand from my work and my parenting that being a mom is a very hard job. As a mom amen to what you said Louise though it is always good to get some appreciation for the intensity of it all. Any way back to work. Things have gotten out of hand here. Ill be back with a story.

Thanks Steph :) I have never meet one home schooed child that was not delightful and charming, I am glad that you have found the same with your friends family.

Just to say............
I am still around, busy as a dizzy bee, but still here.
I think of the good ol' days on this group, where about 5 or 6 or so of us were writing every day, and the group was all the way at the top of the page! And the new friendships growing and glowing....and the excitement.
All the work to be done gets us involved in other things. Itìs like that for me. And for you, I know.
Thinking of my old friends here, and remembering stories, and mostly inspirations and glowing hearts.
Stay well

okay sorry Steph, Robbie it is what i meant. I like that back and forth flow a dialogue so to speak and if its a monologue it isnt a dialogue. BUT I am sick sleeping off and on and perhaps a bit grumpy with the deck caving in and all and a few months of budget left.
