Open your heart and just ask
What you need is there.
Art Prescription: Today at my Intuitive Horseback Riding lesson at Blue Sky Farm http://blueskiesmapleview.us/ my instructor invited me into the ring with Splash. I was to get Splash to walk or trot around the ring by being assertive, with my “energy.” I did have a little lion-tailed rope to give him a gentle butt tap, but mostly it was up to me to get this four-legged 1,000 lb animal to move. Okay, I have some real work to do here, but I did feel extremely BRAVE, and that is good. I feel nothing but encouraged by my challenges and am grateful for this experience. Here’s a brush sketch…

I love this post, and your sketch! Horses are amazing animals, aren’t they? I took some riding lessons as a little girl, but not for that long. Now I’m not sure I would dare to get up on a horse… Enjoy the adventure, and their intelligence and beauty, and thanks for sharing this with us!
Beautiful sketch of Splash! You are brave to try something new that calls on all your resources!
