Building Fences
I just heard that women over a certain age (not saying how old) tend to settle for where they are in life.
- Settle for companionship instead of love
- Settle for the same horse when you are ready for more experience
- Settle for the same riding instructor when you know you need and want more
- Settle for old dreams instead of new ones.
- Stay in bed a little longer than you know you should.
And the list goes on and on. Sometimes we… Continue

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

Horse 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
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
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
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
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…

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...
Would you still…

Discover how to win the blue
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

Stable relationships
How to keep your stable neat and tidy.
I have a wonderful friend that I met back in the spring of 1969. Well, that sure dates me. But from the moment I meet her, I could see that her horses were her number one priority in her life. I have seen that woman, even at the age of 60 plus, rise early every morning, muck out the stalls, wash out the water buckets, measure the feed for every horse, clean… ContinueAdded by Roberta Edstrom on September 8, 2010 at 4:22pm — 1 Comment
Horses are the language of the soul
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

Lucky horseshoe
I live in Mesa, AZ and I go down Main street sometimes to get home. Although it is not a freeway, it is three lanes wide on each side. It gets a lot of traffic. However, there is no sidewalks on the part that goes West towards Apache Junction. There is hardly any shoulder and no bike lane leaving very little room for error.
On the way home I say a man in a wheelchair pulled off… Continue

The #1 rule that I learned from John Lyons
I love reading all of John Lyons books, magazines and articles.
I think horse training started to take on new meaning with his gentling methods. Backyard horse man took on training and got results that they never dreamed was possible.One of the greatest thing that I learned was
where his nose goes, the rest follows.Easy enough, but when you first start to learn about John's theories you have to keep reminding yourselves about which end you… Continue
