Between our heads and their hearts, between our feet and their flanks, between our hands and their mouth, let there be Peace. I’ve seen enough bullying, enough pain-filled intimidation to last me.
His resistance is toward your rudeness.

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.
Hope they’re listening.
You must mean the riders… horses listen to everything. Even what we wish they wouldn’t…
Well said!

Your point of view is so key for peace. I wonder if people just never looked at things in that way and that’s why they bully, I hope that you will enlighten them. It is a privilege to ride not a right. It is a gift not an entitlement. Man needs to learn love and respect and kindness.
I am not new in any way to this approach…
“For what the horse does under compulsion… is done without understanding; and there is no beauty in it either, any more than if one should whip and spur a dancer.” -Xenophon, b. 430BC
this is true.i am greek and the words of xenophon are deep and true even now in 2014.
every year, every animal, and people too!

🙂
yes, ma’am.
love your words and pictures.
Thank you!
The longer I am involved with horses the more aware I become how rude we humans behave around them. Thank you for helping to enlighten me!
I’m just like you, trying to listen. The horses do tell us all that time.
