Harnessed blessings

Flying snow from pounding hooves,

Gliding, the sleigh onward moves.

The trees with white wondrous seem,

The horses snort and blow out steam.

Our hearts are glad with family and… Continue

Just a couple of short little love notes.

The horse speaks directly into our soul, instantly bypassing, beyond the everyday suffering and pain of human endurance, and migrate directly into our beating hearts . Love roberta marie edstrom

"When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes." ...Henry V. -Shakespeare.

I am Mustang, The very last one

I am Mustang, The very last one

The pain is great but then silence

Now, I feel like I am back home

I hear the thundering of a thousand beating hearts

so many, and now me, all sent into the dark

None stampeding as always, as just one

The last mustang from roberta edstrom poems

The last mustang from roberta edstrom poems

Dear God, our time as come

I believe, I was the very last one.

The finale mustang to take the last breath

I ask, God, what have they done

Man will not know… Continue

Creation of the Mustang By Janet Hickman

When the Lord was creating mustangs, he was into his sixth day of overtime

An angel appeared and said “You fiddling around on this one”

The Lord asked “Have you read the description on this horse?”

A mustang must be able to trot for miles a day with the herd or carrying a rider that a domestic horse could never hold up too.

They have to be able to move at a nanosecond’s notice and not think twice of the danger their lives are in from predators.

They have to be able to… Continue

Don't Scare your Horse

Don't let your horse see what some of these horses look like.

They will be scared to death that you might do the same to them!

I wanted to share with you these photos of The Knot-a-Tail's Annual Boo Horse Halloween Photo Contest.

I am not sure how some of these horses stood for all that their owners did to them. I think they all must have taken a John Lyons course of two.

Vote for your favorite.

Someone STOLE all my Oats?

Suddenly you horse is feeling a little off. What now?

He is just not quite kicking up his heels like he used to?

So, what do we do? Perhaps change his feed.

I know you. I bet you have already started asking all the our horsie friends what to do. You would certainly ask the farrier. Your trainer perhaps? The feed store lady?

Have you decided yet to add a supplement to his feed. Which one? Did that help?

Still not acting up to his highest potential? Are you…

Ladies: if you buy a Roping saddle, buy a vibrator too, you'll need one

For years, I bought, sold, repaired and even made a few western saddles. I loved to carve leather, so I would spend hours, days, and even weeks making elaborate designs on the fenders, swells and skirts.

Here is the funny thing, I was like the shoe maker who did not own a pair of his own shoes.

Neither did my husband.…

What if ...............

loneliness was simply a feeling of impatience, telepathically sent to you by friends you've yet to meet, urging you to go out more, do more, and get involved, so that life's serendipities could bring you together...

Discover how to win the blue

Quick story, well perhaps two short horse stories.

A mom thought that her youngest daughter was too optimistic, so she took the young girl to a therapist to get some help. The therapist agreed, so they decided in order to get her to look a little bit more dimly upon life, they brought her to room fulled of horse manure: Piled high.

The young girl's face instantly was covered with absolute shock. She clambered to the top, dropped to her knees and… Continue

Horses are the language of the soul

I beleive a horse speaks directly into our soul, instantly bypassing, beyond the everyday suffering and pain of human endurance, and migrate directly into our beating hearts.

We, horse lovers, both feeling that wisdom and holding it close, perceive their beauty, their trust, their unconditional love as on of our greatest life's treasures.

Within a horse's open hearts, we allow ourselves to gather the love we have stuffed beneath the surface, all… Continue

Riding with a loose rein

I don't know if I have brushed more horses in my barn or in my dreams. I can spend hours just grooming a horse. I think by now I can draw them with my eyes closed just pretending that I am running my hands over their magnificent bodies. Every inch of their bodies memorized in the palms of my hands has forever captured their beauty and by now it has been blueprinted permanently into my imagination.

When my son was training horses with me, I actually spent more time being the groom. I… Continue

The Birthday Bash

Some days are just a little to get started then others, worse yet is when those days fall on a Monday.

It took a great deal of the weekend to continually update all the winners, and the comments that every one was posting all weekend. By the time I edited all the pictures and found out as… Continue

A new pair of Cowboy boots

Last Sunday morning, I waited in the car, while my business partner went into a local bakery in downtown Tempe, AZ to buy some piping-hot, super fresh, right out-of-the over, cross-top buns to take to Easter dinner Needless to say the lines were long and it took him awhile.

I had brought a book to read about expanding my spiritual awareness, called "The Force". I was deep into reading my book, deep into feeling more spiritual and ready to take on every new challenge that came my… Continue

The Last Ranch

I found this last night on Facebook and it reminded me that lately I have not felt like a very good friend.

"Someone in your friend's list is going thru a really tough time, losing a loved one, making a tough decision, having major surgery, starting a new job, losing their job, or just feeling all alone. If you see them today give them a hug and let them know you care. If you don't see them, stop and think about them for a minute and wish them well."

Taking a moment just to share… Continue

Never barrel race your pleasure horse

It has rained for three days just prior to the our club's yearly horse show. Everything was under water when we arrived. A few of the men rounded-up some shovels and dug some trenches to help drain the water from the Arena.

I hung out with a few other rides, and we sat along side of the arena, just waiting for someone to hit the dirt. We were actually taking bets on which rider would be the dirtiest by the end of the day. Not good, I know, but this was in my younger, more naive… Continue
