Wash day, clean white horse
Rolls in the dirt to dry off
Mud, natures sunscreen.
Art Prescription: I rode Lacey today, a new mare at Blue Skies. Hot day for May, so after our ride we got to spray them off. They really liked that!! And just like a clean dog, Lacey trotted into the grassy meadow and proceeded to roll. Pretty cute!! Pen and ink and watercolor 5 x 7.
Winter mud blanket
A box of brushes leads to
A sweet posting trot!
Art Prescription: Pulling into the farm I thought, is that Doc? Yep, that’s Doc! The dirtiest horse in the paddock. And I loved grooming him and connecting with him before a ride. This time of touch and getting totally in these beings space before you ask them to wear a
saddle and hold you on their back, is prescious.
Sunlight warms the stall
Sweet oats, leather and hay
Fill contented nose.
Art Prescription: Pinto gets a snack after a cold morning ride. He was such a good boy today. Everything about being on this farm with fresh air and horses feeds my senses.
Bareback on “my” horse
I feel each step Pinto takes
Nothing else matters.
Art Prescription: Started my Intuitive Horseback Riding at Blue Skies Farm today! To launch us right off with breathing and being centered with our horse, we rode bareback. Beautiful! My legs were trembling with nerves and muscles fatigue, and it’s all good. At that point it was just me and Pinto. Trust…
Warm sun hits my back
Barn cat slithers by for strokes
Roosters crow next door.
Art Prescription: I went out to Blue Skies of Mapleview farm today for some soul restoration. Sitting under the big blue sky with horses soothes my restless spirit. Took my sketchbook.
Down on the horse farm
Fresh air and work and horse pets
Body works, mind rests.
Art Prescription: Went out to the farm today to work…farm work…get dirty, use your muscles, wear high boots work!! And I loved it. Reward…grooming a couple of dirty winter coats, and taking in the senses that is a farm!!
Curled in saw-dust pile
The barn cat nests in horse stall
Morning nap on farm!
Art Prescription: All the senses are awake at the farm. So much beauty to take in. Today I was particularly fond of seeing the barn cat rule. So at ease, so gentle, so, well, safe. I am working on ease…
It’s all about trust
Bare-back on a horse, they know
It’s one to one now.
Art Prescription: Had my first Intuitive Horseback Riding lesson today, bare-back!! Did yoga on a horse to start, and then practiced closing my eyes and feeling how the horse was stepping next.
