Modern horsewomen

Give themselves away, first glance

All with their aura.

Art Prescription:  So I recently went with a friend of mine to a psychic camp-fire. It was interesting. Before I went I was talking with a friend and told him I would not mention anything about horses. He said, “She will know.”

Playfully I got to thinking what is it that might give us modern horsewomen away?

  1. We will ruin a manicure in a minute
  2. Our toes always look good for yoga
  3. We do shave our legs, mostly, especially if we also swim
  4. We talk about sheaths; we clean sheaths
  5. We buy sunscreen year round
  6. We like hats
  7. We go grocery shopping in riding pants, heck we do everything in riding pants
  8. We have a chiropractor and a massage therapist on speed-dial, especially for our horses
  9. We have strong arms and legs
  10. We pay more for our horse’s shoes than our own
  11. We own multiple pairs of boots: muck, paddock, riding
  12. We have a therapist, but rarely need them
  13. We know that a trip to the barn is a cure for just about everything
  14. We have partners who support our passion
  15. We are totally, wholly, big-time, real and authentic!!!

I would love you to add to my list! Even if your passion is something other than horses. Please add what you find so joyful this holiday season!!

Cheers,

Enter Winter November 1, 2016

Cozy cloudy day

Made for comforters and cats

And hot chocolate.

Art Prescription:  Not how I spent my day…well maybe the comforter and cat bit for a while. Went for a morning swim, worked on my Open Studio post card, and then Finn had a chiropractor appointment.

Balancing Act October 26, 2016

Each whole day offers

An opportunity to

Strive for true balance.

Art Prescription:  Despite his very own water bucket being full of fresh water, Max the barn cat chooses to balance precariously to drink from the horse trough.

He knows balance is involved in knowing what you want, asking for what you need.

Well done Max!

Hello October 17, 2016

Little biddy bit

A new experience, farm

And great big horses!

Art Prescription: My friend Bonnie and her two sweet pups went to the farm today to meet the herd. It was so interesting to watch these tiny dogs with the horses. The one word that says it all is “gentle.” Both the dogs and the horses were calmly inquisitive, sniffing the other as if to say hello.

Heard the news today

People and things come and go

The circle of life.

Art Prescription:  One of my favorite horses is leaving the farm. I will miss this gentle giant, and grieve. Gives a slight meaning to “birds of a feather.”
