Horses in the Village - 6 May 2025

Rain had made our clay sod arena footing way too slippery so we took to the road on Tuesday 6 May 2025 to give the trainee horses additional experience with new to them sights and sounds and smells. Oakley the 3yr old Paint gelding was ponied off my helper horse Avi. Nutmeg was ridden solo. And our route included the fairly nearby Village in order to ensure the trainee horses saw things that were not familiar to them - in order to intentionally work on increasing their personal courage while simultaneously working on increasing their trust in their master (who is calmly exuding "Fear not, you are with me.")

Training horses always involves some risk of injury (or even death) to the horse, the trainer, any spectators, equipment used, etc. - this risk is totally your own as you will be making your own judgements on what to do. As with any suggestions on any subject you must weigh them out for yourself and proceed accordingly - at your own risk.

Remember to intentionally, on purpose, learn of God each day by prayerfully reading, studying, and pondering upon God's word each day. Talk to God in prayer as your Heavenly Father who would like for you to be His friend. Find out what He would like you to do for Him as His friend and go and do it for Him as His friend. Yes very intentionally, very much on purpose, become the friend of God. And have a blessed day!!
