Weekly Photo Challenge: Descent

WMGraceChin

Descent means ‘a way down’ and it is how we learn to ride. Our information and learning trickles down from the horse. In the beginning, it can seem like our job to train them and too many riders get lost trying to make their horses work by being adversarial–you can land at the bottom. Eventually some of us learn to listen to the horse. They have so much to teach us, but we have let go of our human arrogance to be a partner. Then we earn a better ride–respected and lifted by a horse.

Some of us have been speaking ‘horse’ for so long, that we have switched sides. We change nationality and become of Equine descent…

WordPress Photo Challenge is a weekly prompt to share a photo- I enjoy twisting these macro prompts to share our micro life here on the Colorado prairie. My photos are taken with my phone, on my farm. No psych, definitely not high tech.

This blog is free, and it always will be. Free to read, but also free of ads because I turn away sponsorships and pay to keep ads off my site. I like to read a clean page and think you do too. If you appreciate the work I do, or if your horse does, consider making a donation.
