Mud is Good

>> Saturday, September 17, 2011


I know Tango and I look like tiny specs in the composition of this picture but the greenness of the pastures for this time of year is totally amazing. It's been interesting for me. Tango's been off. He's had x-rays and injections and the whole nine-yards. Basically, he's going to be okay but I've not been able to do my usual work with him. In fact, I've only been allowed to ride easily. I should be upset by the interruption in our routine, but I'm not. I had forgotten how calming and joyful it is to ride just for the sake of riding. Sometimes the small things in life are what matter the most. Not the competitions or the deadlines of work that needs to be done to meet a specific goal. Life should always be so easy. Remind me of that when Tango is all well again and I'm stressed out about getting him all clean for a show. Mud is good.

Now that sounds like that is just the type of riding you both need. Kind of stopping and smelling the roses kind of thing. My horse and I loved spending that kind of time together.

KISS is a good adage to live by lol. The simple life gives one a chance to recoop and repair.

Sounds relaxing! Maybe Tango figured you need that.

You are all so right. I'm going to listen for Mother Earth's heart beat...

Tango is such a magestic creature. You are truly blessed.

Beautiful photo! Glad Tango is O.K. What a wonderful way to spend time together - alone, out in Nature, just you and Tango. Lovely!
