Sun dapples on trail
Clip clop of horse hooves through rich
Autumn kissed forest.
Finn and I walked for a couple of miles through beautiful fall-like trails. He was such a good boy!
Trail Ride
horse back
Warm
Warm blanket and hay
All it takes for happiness
We can learn from this.
Art Prescription: Cozy and full… blessed.
Holidays
Winter sun catches
The very tops of bare trees
In late afternoon.
Art Prescription : Sending joy to you. Walk into the new year in the moment. And feel your pulse when your spirit is moved. Then… do more of that.
How to hold Reins August 24, 2016
Hold reins with thumbs up
As if a glass of champagne
Bubbles rising up.
Art Prescription: Did a private lesson today on Finn! So much good stuff…gonna be sore! Can’t wait to start my Women’s Intuitive Riding!! Working on an alternative palette of colors.

White Barns August 21, 2016
Steady in saddle
We meander along fields
Taking in country.
Art Prescription: Long trail ride on Finn this morning. So beautiful to explore the land from the back of a horse.

New Horse at Barn July 9, 2016
Just off the trailer
He takes a breath, and decides
The grass is green here.
Art Prescription: A new horse arrived at the farm today…Space…a registered Paint. Cool as a cucumber, he gets off the trailer and proceeds to enter his new home with enthusiasm. Just amazing these creatures who live totally in the moment.

In the Moment May 27, 2016
Off into the mist
Of green grass, afternoon sun
Finn in element.
Art Prescription: Not much is prettier or more peaceful than watching a herd of horses let out onto a grassy pasture. Rode Finn bare-back…Friday ritual..and put conditioner in his tail and mane. Sublime.

Fence May 20, 2016
Buttercups rise up
To meet the strong wooden fence
Above, old oaks pray.
Art Prescription: Do fences hold something in or out? Guess it depends on which side of the fence you think you are on… Me…a lovely bareback ride on my boy Finn admiring other horses graze among bright yellow buttercups!

Trail Ride May 11, 2016
Through deep shaded woods
And grassy fields by the cows
Spun the breadths of blue!
Art Prescription: My horse under me connects me to the ground, the world, my life. So beautiful to see my dear friends on their horses ahead of me. All baggage left at the barn. Only joy rides along with us now. Blue Skies.

Horses April 20, 2016
These spirits in fur
Draw us to their mystery
Hold us on their backs.
Art Prescription: Amazing ride this morning.
